2006 Senate Bill 1124

House Roll Call 271: Passed

To prescribe high school graduation requirements for public schools and charter schools. These would include four credits (or year-long courses) each in English and mathematics (including Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry); three each in science and social science (including biology and chemistry or physics); one in health and physical education; one in fine arts or music; and one in certain electives, but none in foreign language. The vote sets up a negotiation between the House and Senate over the slightly different requirements proposed by this bill and House Bill 5606.
