Law gives Washington high school seniors leeway to graduate
OLYMPIA — High school seniors bound for graduation won’t be derailed by the pandemic from getting their diploma.
Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation Tuesday allowing public and private schools to waive some requirements for students on track to graduate but in danger of not making it due to the ongoing public health emergency.
“This bill will help students succeed in their life’s ambition,” Inslee said while signing House Bill 1121.
State law sets out certain requirements for graduating from high school, including completing 24 credits in specified subject areas, as determined by the State Board of Education. It also provides other pathways students may follow to demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to earn their diplomas.
