Lawmakers consider shaking up High School curriculum

High School "Graduation Bill" offers more choices for students

FLORIDA – State lawmakers are considering a new bill that would offer high school students more pathways to earning a diploma.

The "Graduation Bill" is in response to standardized tests students mist pass to graduate. The Miami Herald reports that only 59% of students passed the Algebra 1 course test in 2012.
