Ann Arbor schools weigh policy change eliminating 2 barriers to graduation (mlive.com) ā€” Ann Arbor Public Schools are considering lowering local credit requirements and easing a FAFSA-related rule so more struggling students can still graduate on time. The proposed changes would align minimum credits with Michiganā€™s 18-credit standard and automatically opt non-FAFSA completers out of the grant requirement, aiming to remove structural barriers for students facing work, caregiving, or financial challenges.
