In October, BESE approved for Notice of Intent several changes to Bulletin 741:
Louisiana Handbook for School Administrators. The changes are primarily related to
graduation requirements. This is the first year that students will be graduating under the
LA Core 4 curriculum and the Basic Core curriculum. Most of these changes are the
result of requests from schools and districts and they provide more options for students.
It is expected that BESE will approve this changes for final adoption in March which
means they will affect students graduating in 2012. The changes are summarized below
and the revised policy is attached.
