REP. Hatfield Thanks His Constituents For Bringing Foward Their Education Changes Suggestions
AUGUST 20. 2024
On Aug. 14, the State Board of Education (SBOE) released a second draft of its proposed high school diplomas. The second draft makes significant changes, such as removing the proposed GPS Diploma and GPS Diploma Plus options.
Instead, one standard diploma will be offered to students, but they can also work towards the Honors and Honors Plus readiness seals. Students will be able to obtain these readiness seals in the following categories: enlistment and service, employment, and enrollment.
These changes follow a public comment period in which over 8,000 educators, parents, students, and legislators voiced their feedback directly to the SBOE. I want to thank my community for bringing forward their concerns at town halls, meetings, and in the SBOE’s online survey.
