Texas high school postpones graduation due to low eligibility rate.
TL;DR Summary
Marlin High School in Texas postponed its graduation ceremony after only five of its 33 seniors were eligible to graduate. The school district superintendent discovered that 28 seniors were ineligible due to not passing all their courses and not attending 90% of their classes throughout all eight semesters. The school has postponed the ceremony to an undecided date in June, and seniors are making up assignments and spending extra time in classes to become eligible. The district is shifting to a four-day week next school year in hopes that students will be more engaged.
