Minot Public School has scaled back a plan to require more credits to graduation from high school.

Students now need 22 credits to graduate - and that was scheduled to increase to 24 in the 2011-12 school year.

School board members approved the change at their meeting this afternoon. watch the video | save this article / add to your favorites list
