SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Diploma warranty. Directs each local school board, beginning in school year 2000-2001, to provide a two-year warranty for students receiving a standard or advanced studies diploma from a high school in the school division. The warranty will guarantee minimum competencies in reading, writing, and mathematics and shall provide that students graduating with a standard or advanced studies diploma who are identified by an employer in the Commonwealth as deficient in one or more of these minimum competencies are entitled to receive retraining in such competencies from the relevant school division free of charge.

Board of Education regulations will govern the initiative and will specify academic skills and competencies guaranteed, address criteria for determining the need for retraining in these particular competencies, and provide procedures for the identification of students entitled to retraining.
