About the Committee

  • The Portrait of a Graduate Committee was established on November 15, 2022. The Bakersfield City School District Board of Education established the committee to work with the Superintendent to collaborate with members of the community on the development of the Portrait of a Graduate.

    The Portrait of a Graduate Committee is charged with the following:

    • Serve as the Design Team and draft the following:
      • A prioritized set of competencies, including 21st century skills, mindsets and literacies, that students of the District should embody and exemplify by graduation.
      • A set of visuals that incorporates the identified priorities and conveys a compelling story.
    • Reach consensus about a selected visual to share with the District community for feedback.
    • Advise the Superintendent, based on feedback from the District community, on any revisions prior to final product submission to the Board for adoption.

    The Portrait of a Graduate Committee will meet a minimum of six times and may require additional meetings on an as-needed basis. The committee shall remain in existence until such time as the Superintendent and Board determine that the committee has completed its charge.
