Bill Summary
Eliminates high school graduation proficiency test.
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the requirement for high school students to pass a statewide proficiency test as a condition of graduation. Instead, the bill allows local school boards to determine the proficiency levels required for graduation. The bill also makes several related changes, such as removing references to the "High School Proficiency Test" from school report card requirements and the criteria for renewing "renaissance school" charters. Overall, the bill aims to give more flexibility to local districts in setting graduation standards, rather than relying on a statewide proficiency exam.
