At the June 2021 Kansas State Board of Education meeting, Commissioner of Education Randy Watson announced the establishment of a Graduation Requirements Task Force, which include members of the State Board of Education, business leaders, curriculum directors, high school principals, counselors, teachers, KSHSAA, local boards of education and superintendents, charged with examining graduation requirements in Kansas from at least three different lenses:
Additional courses or deletion of courses required for graduation (if any).
Examination of competencies and multiple ways to show mastery of skills which allow students to move at their own pace and time.
Examination of any additional requirements in addition to the high school diploma (value-added assets such as industry recognized certificate, college credits, etc.)
Today, we’re asking for your feedback to help guide the work of this group. Please use this link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgh-IpVSnY3zDAAKh1UdVOs48u-bcjLjqxI8gOP2-8TYBQHA/viewform?usp=sf_link to complete a short survey regarding your thoughts on Kansas’ high school graduation requirements.
The deadline to submit feedback is April 15.
Thank you.

Here is the schedule of events for the Bennington Meet on Friday April 1.
Sophomore advisory students (Clark's Harks) completed an activity that challenged them to start a drawing, then pass that drawing to a partner. That partner continued the drawing without any direction, passing it back to the owner after some time. Students discussed the importance of communication on projects, how expectations can and will change, and how different perspectives can affect the outcome of something.
HES third grade students did some “plant hunting” to compare characteristics of plants in different locations! #backontrack
