· The new 15% M&O Override will continue to support the programs that were added or maintained under the existing K-3 Override and 10% Maintenance and Operations Override. The District has operated with a 10% M&O Override since 1989, and with a K-3 Override since 2005.

Graduation Requirements
Changes to Graduation Requirements. Click to see the memo to superintendents and principals by State Superintendent John Huppenthal which highlights the revisions to Arizona’s graduation requirements that are to be enforced beginning with this year’s 2012 graduating class. It is important to ensure all 2012 graduates meet the new criteria. The State Board of Education adopted new high school graduation requirements in December 2007 with a phased in timeline that applies to those students graduating in 2012 and 2013. Please note:
All graduation requirements shall be strictly enforced by year of graduation, NOT by a
cohort. Therefore, high school seniors who fail to meet graduation requirements by the end of 2012 will
be required to complete all additional requirements that become effective in 2013, as outlined in State
Board of Education Rule (AAC R7-2-302.01, 302.02, and 302.03).
