| AL | Adopted 12/2007 | P-12 | Allows alternate requirements for students currently protected by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation act of 1973 to receive the Alabama High School Diploma. Specifies that if a student with a disability does not pass one subject-area test of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam, but all other graduation requirements have been met, the alternate documentation to earn the high school diploma must indicate the disability/disabilities that substantially limits the student's ability to demonstrate achievement in the area where a subject-area test of the AHSGE is not passed, and that the student participated in remediation of the AHSGE subject-area test not passed. Amends similar language relating to individuals enrolled in an adult diploma program.
Changes the science subject-area test of Alabama High School Graduation Exam to biology only, effective with students who were first-time ninth-graders in or after the 2006-2007 school year (Class of 2010).

| CA | Signed into law 09/2007 | P-12 | Relates to funding for intensive instruction for pupils that have not satisfied the exit examination requirements, the use by a school district of its uniform complaint process to identify and resolve deficiencies related to availability of the intensive instruction and services options, requiring school counselors explain the availability of intensive instruction and services, and school visits by county superintendents of schools to verify pupils are informed of such instruction. Revises the definition of "eligible pupil" to include pupils who have not satisfied the requirement that they pass the high school exist exam and have failed one or both parts of the exam by the end of grade 12; authorizes the receipt of instruction and services on Saturdays, evenings or at a time and location deemed appropriate by the school district for eligible pupils; expans the authorized scope of intensive instruction and services to include instruction in English language arts or mathematics. Requires a county superintendent of schools to conduct school visits and verify that pupils who have not passed the high school exist exam by the end of grade qw are informed that they are entitled to receive intensive instruction and services for up to 2 consecutive academic years after completion of grade 12 or until the pupil has passed both parts of the exit exam and verifying that those pupils who elected to receive the instruction and services are being served.

| TN | Signed into law 06/2007 | P-12 | Present law requires that, before graduation, every high school student have the opportunity to take an exit examination as adopted by the state board of education. The results of these examinations are shared with the legislative oversight committee on education. This bill replaces the optional high school exit exam with three assessment exams, to be administered in grades eight, 10, and 11, to provide educators with diagnostic information to assist in developing interventions to increase graduation rates and improve readiness for post secondary education. These assessments are to be approved by the Commissioner of Education and provide educators with diagnostic information to assist in developing interventions for the purpose of increasing high school graduation rates and improving student preparation for postsecondary achievement. Each year, the results of such examinations shall be analyzed and reported by the Commissioner of Education to the Select Oversight Committee on Education.

| TX | Signed into law 06/2007 | P-12 | From bill analysis: This bill would phase out TAKS and replace it with end of course exams in the four core subject areas in grades 9-12. The end of course exams would count as 15% of the student's overall grade in a class. The bill would maintain accountability for schools while providing multiple pathways to graduation for students by allowing a student to satisfy graduation requirements in different ways instead rather than a single pass/fail test. The bill promotes college readiness by allowing satisfactory performance on AP/IB or similar college level avenues to substitute for end of course exams. The bill also requires students to complete college readiness diagnostics and college entrance exams at state expense. Finally, the bill provides for safeguards and criminal penalties to maintain the security and integrity of our assessment system.

| WA | Signed into law 04/2007 | P-12 | A conditional delay of the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) as a graduation requirement in mathematics is created for the graduating classes of 2008 through 2012, to graduate without a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA) or Certificate of Individual Achievement (CIA).
