SUMMARY:

Seals on high school diplomas. Requires the Board of Education to develop criteria for recognizing exemplary performance in vocational studies by students who have completed the requirements for a standard or advanced studies diploma and to award seals on the diplomas of students meeting such criteria. The Standards of Accreditation are Board of Education regulations which now provide for Board of Education and Governor's Seals on the diplomas of students meeting certain diploma and grade average requirements. Currently, students may also receive other seals or awards for exceptional academic, vocational, citizenship, or other exemplary performance in accordance with criteria defined by local school boards.
