Next year’s eighth graders will have a new academic requirement to complete in order to eventually earn their Alabama high school diploma.
Enter your email for weekly updates about Alabama schools from Trisha Powell Crain:
“Parents want their children to graduate from high school with the skills needed to excel in college and career,” Ivey said.“And since the rule does not take effect until 2028, we have plenty of time to work with local school districts to expand access to a range of college and career readiness indicators to meet the interests of every student.
The change signals an interest in returning to an academic requirement for Alabama diplomas. The state dropped the high school graduation exam in 2014, citing it as an unnecessary barrier for some students.Critics at the time said Alabama’s high school diploma lost value when the only requirement to graduate was to get passing grades.
