Summary

Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, with the approval of the State Board of Education, to develop a high school exit examination in English language arts and mathematics in accordance with state academic content standards. Existing law requires each pupil completing grade 12 to successfully pass the high school exit examination as a condition of receiving a diploma of graduation or a condition of graduation from high school, except for the 2015–16, 2016–17, and 2017–18 school years. This bill would eliminate the high school exit examination and would remove it as a condition of receiving a diploma of graduation or a condition of graduation from high school. The bill would also make clarifying, conforming, and nonsubstantive changes. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 47605 of the Education Code proposed by AB 1360 to be operative only if this bill and AB 1360 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
