AUSTIN (KXAN) — A new bill being discussed in the Texas House and Senate would give high school upperclassmen a break on their yearly end-of-course exams: standardized tests which require a passing grade for graduation.
Texas currently requires seniors to pass English I, English II, U.S. History, Algebra I and Biology assessments. But the new, temporary bill would allow school districts to disregard those test scores altogether, and instead receive final approval from an individual graduation committee.
