His graduation requirements fill like buckets
GabrielaUnder the Class of 2027 rules, Board Policy 6146.1, eight buckets fill with Andrés's courses, each labeled with course and grade and sized by credit. He has 22.0 credits earned and 26.0 projected of 26.0 required, the civics test passed at 81 and 52 of 40 service hours. Science reads 2.5 of 3.0, with a dashed space marked 0.5 short.
One fix: Science is 0.5 short.

Every placement opens its sources
Audit agentThe held chemistry course shows the requirement and rule section it counts toward, the school it came from, the grade converted under Board Policy 5460 §3(c), and what each audit concluded. Until a person decides, the line counts at the lower value, so nobody is told Andrés is on track too early.
- 05The transcript
The Spanish original beside the English
Transfer agentThe Transfer agent reads the official transcript from Instituto Sierra Clara line by line, with the English beside it at confidence 0.98. The ninth line reads "Química I · 5 h/semana · 180 horas · 8.7", which converts to a B+. Andrés's transcript is one of 14 waiting for the registrar.
- 06Two readings
One line, two independent answers
Transfer agent · Second Audit agentThe Transfer agent proposes a full credit of Chemistry (lab): 180 hours over the 2023–2024 annual plan meet the policy's 120 hours for one credit, confidence 0.93. The Second Audit agent, working on its own, reads "Química I" as the first of two semesters and counts 0.5, confidence 0.71. Gabriela recommended 1.0 on Oct 19; she cannot approve it.
A counselor recommends, only the registrar approves.

The registrar checks the calendar and signs
Colleen Daugherty-Nwosu · District registrarColleen highlights the footer printed on the transcript: an annual plan of 200 class days, August 28, 2023 to July 12, 2024. She chooses 1.0 credit for a full year, reason code EQ-03, hours verified on the source transcript, adds a note for the record and e-signs. The dialog names Gabriela as the maker and Colleen as the checker.

Science fills, and Andrés is on track
Audit agentThe Audit agent rebuilds the audit: Chemistry counts a full credit, Science reads 3.0 of 3.0, and Andrés has 22.5 credits earned and 26.5 projected. He moves from one fix to on track, and Gabriela's one-fix list drops from 11 to 10.
On track. Science is 3.0 of 3.0; the family notice is ready in Spanish.

His mother hears it in Spanish, approved before it is sent
Notice agent · Marcus Bell, head counselorThe Notice agent writes to Leticia Morales in Spanish from the audit, with the English for the record and a back-translation at 0.97.

Every step, by people and agents, ready for the state review
Martin Oyelowo · Internal auditorThe audit trail holds Colleen's signed decision with its reason code and the transcript line and footer it rests on, the rebuilt audit, the drafted notice and the overnight runs.
