What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a school board may not grant a high school diploma to any pupil unless the pupil has earned at least 4 credits of English, 3 credits of social studies, 2 credits of science, 2 credits of mathematics, 1.5 credits of physical education, and 0.5 credits of health education.
This bill authorizes a school board to grant a vocational high school diploma to a pupil who has not earned the academic credits specified above but has earned a sufficient number of credits in vocational subjects, as determined by the school board, if the Department of Public Instruction has approved the school district's vocational curriculum.
