SB0142 - High School Graduation Requirements

State Impact:
Enactment of this bill will not require additional appropriations. It may require additional State Board of Education staff time to verify test scores and issue diplomas which would require some changes in job priorities among staff. Enactment of this bill may also result in some private and home school students seeking to take the Utah Basic Skills Competency Test, each additional test costs approximately $11. Enactment of this bill may result in public school students meeting diploma requirements prior to their senior year in high school. Students that exit the public school system prior to their intended date of graduation may result in some savings to the Minimum School Program associated with fewer students receiving WPU funding.
