Description

Board of Education; high school graduation; alternative pathways to the advanced studies diploma and associated diploma seals. Directs the Board of Education to establish two pathways to the advanced studies high school diploma, and associated diploma seals for students who successfully follow and demonstrate excellence on such pathways: one pathway that requires advanced coursework in a career and technical education field but does not require coursework in world language and another pathway that requires advanced coursework in world language but does not require coursework in a career and technical education field. The bill requires such pathways and associated diploma seals to become effective for the 2024-2025 school year and to be available to any student, regardless of the school year during which the student enters ninth grade.
