This study, a collaboration of the Annenberg Institute and the Rhode Island Children's Crusade, looks at community attitudes about high school graduation requirements as part of Providence's high school redesign initiative. The report describes the views of community members, elicited in focus groups and interviews. The results of the study helped inform the planning for proposed new graduation requirements for the city's schools, which are now under consideration by the school board.
