December 16, 2015 (Sacramento): Former Â鶹¹ÙÍø students who
completed all graduation requirements except passage of the
California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) may be eligible to
receive a diploma retroactively.
In October, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 172 allowing K-12
districts to award diplomas to eligible students who did not pass
CAHSEE, which became a graduation requirement starting with the
class of 2006. The new law takes effect January 1.
Former students who believe they qualify for a diploma are asked
to complete an online request form on the district’s website
(www.scusd.edu/cahseediploma). Once a request is received, staff
will begin researching student transcripts and graduation
requirements in place when the student attended high school.
