Bill Summary
For legislation relative to Massachusetts high school diplomas. Education.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 69, Section 1D, which deals with high school diplomas, by adding a new paragraph. This new provision states that no student will be denied a high school diploma solely based on their score on a state standardized test, as long as they have fulfilled all other graduation requirements, such as passing all their courses. This change is intended to be temporary, applying for three school years after the bill becomes law, and it overrides any existing laws that might prevent this.
