Based on our records, Naviance was used by Central 301 students for multiple years through the 2021–2022 school year, primarily beginning in 8th grade.
Students in 8th through 12th grade had access to the platform and could be included in this notification.
What is this about?

The case was settled to avoid the time and expense of ongoing litigation.
