Bill Summary
Relative to high school graduation competency determinations. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce barriers to education and career opportunities by amending the existing law to allow students to receive two types of diplomas upon demonstrating competency. The "Commonwealth Diploma" is issued by the state department of education for students who pass the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) tests, while the "Horace Mann Diploma" is issued by the local school committee for students who meet the academic standards and curriculum frameworks. Receiving either diploma certifies that the student has met the competency determination and entitles them to the rights and privileges of high school graduation.
