Educators and administrators rally to have new graduation requirements adjusted by the State Board of Education.  According to data from the Ohio Department of Education, nearly 30% of  the Class of 2018 is not on track to graduate due to the new requirements.  The Class of 2018, this year's juniors, are the first to have to meet the new requirements.
