Bill Summary
Relative to high school graduation competency determinations. Education.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to reduce barriers to education and career opportunities by amending the General Laws to provide additional diploma options for high school students who demonstrate competency through passing state assessments or meeting local academic standards. Specifically, the bill would create a "Commonwealth Diploma" for students who pass the state's Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) tests, and a "Horace Mann Diploma" for students who meet their local school committee's academic requirements. Students may receive both diplomas, and either diploma would certify that the student has met the competency determination for high school graduation, entitling them to all the rights and privileges associated with graduation.
