Graduation requirements for international baccalaureate program students waived.
This bill allows high school students in Minnesota's International Baccalaureate programs to skip certain graduation credit requirements if those classes conflict with their IB curriculum. Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, schools must grant this waiver to students who are on track for an IB diploma or career-related program by the start of their 11th grade and would otherwise be unable to participate in the program. The waiver remains in effect only as long as the student stays on track; if they fall behind by the beginning of their 12th grade, the school can require them to complete the missed credits to graduate.
