Topic: Preparing Students for Their Future

The Washington State Board of Education is currently reviewing high school graduation requirements through the Washington FutureReady State Graduation Requirement Framework, and is developing recommendations for consideration by the Washington State Legislature.

The FutureReady work is focused on ensuring graduation requirements prepare students for college, careers, and life after high school, while creating opportunities for students to pursue pathways aligned with their interests, strengths, and future goals.

For Pullman students, this conversation is particularly timely. Under the current proposed timeline, many of the changes would first apply to students entering ninth grade in fall 2028. Final requirements and implementation timelines will depend on state legislative and rulemaking processes.
 
You’re Invited! Our School Board wants to hear from our community about what students need from their education today and what they should be prepared for when they graduate. 
Our School Board is hosting a listening session focused on gathering feedback related to the following questions:

  1. What is one thing adults in our school system should understand better about being a student today?
  2. What should every Pullman student experience before graduating from our schools?
  3. What are we doing particularly well to prepare students for their future goals? Where do we have the greatest opportunity to improve?
  4. How should we prepare students to enter the workforce? What strengths and weaknesses do current hires have?

Your experiences and ideas can help us understand what our students need to be successful beyond high school. We encourage everyone, including students, families, educators, employers, and community members, to attend and share their perspectives.

Thank you for helping us think about what it means for a Pullman student to be future-ready!
