Students in District 75 with standard assessments received a specific letter, while those with alternate assessments and charter schools did not.
- Students in District 75 operating under standard assessments received the letter, excluding those with alternate assessments.
- Charter schools were not distributed the letter; it was exclusively sent to Districts 1 to 32 and standard assessment students in District 75.
- Students' receipt of the letter was determined based on PPA metrics, affecting those even with potential for an IEP diploma if meeting GPA criteria.
- The timing of the letter's distribution considers students' status in their final high school year.

Speaking of other types of schools, District 75, SCHOOLS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS, DID THEY ALSO RECEIVED THIS LETTER?

Thank you for the question.
1:29:00
And while we've made sure we were giving you the correct answer, so the Students in district 75, who are operating under a standard assessment, received the letter.
1:29:12
We have some students who are have alternate assessment who are not receiving that letter based on their their IPs, their learnings, their transition plans.
1:29:23
We did not disseminate the letter through charters, but districts 1 to 32 and standard assessment students in district 75 all received 1 of the versions of the letter.

And so any student with an IEP diploma, for example, would not have received the letter?
Melanie Mac
1:29:46
So the the students' cutoffs were based on PPA.
1:29:50
And so in our D75 and district 1 to 32 schools, students who who potentially are receiving IAB IEP diploma may have received the letter, the if they were meeting the GPA criteria.
1:30:05
And the reason for that is partly the timing.
1:30:08
This was going out into in the fall when a student is still completing their final year of high school.
1:30:15
And there are students as we're well aware as educators that might still there might still be a choice point whether they graduating with the region's diploma or if they they are going to graduate with a different credential.

Right.
