2007 Senate Bill 403

House Roll Call 493: Passed

To establish standards and procedures by which a student transferring to a public high school from a private or an out-of-state school could have some of the requirements of the <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2006-HB-5606">new high school graduation requirements</a> waived under some circumstances. The student would still have to have at least two years of equivalent standards, would have to take a math class in his or her last year of high school, and meet certain other conditions specified in the bill. The bill would also eliminate a provision that requires the Department of Education to develop tests of whether pupils have learned materials covered by state graduation requirements.
