Texas House approves testing and graduation standards overhaul
The Texas House passed a broad curriculum overhaul by 145 to 2, led by Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock. The measure would allow a foundation diploma without Algebra II or many advanced math and science courses and reduce required tests from 15 to five. It aims to boost vocational training while creating a distinguished degree for automatic state university admission. Critics warn of a lower bar and possible higher dropout risk.
