LAUSD Looks To Raise The Bar For Graduating Seniors

CBS:

Officials with the Los Angeles Unified School District were considering a plan on Wednesday that would require all students to take advanced courses and earn at least a "C" in order to graduate.

The proposal is part of the district's effort to make every LAUSD graduate meet the minimum standards for admission to University of California and Cal State University Systems.

The change would require students graduating in 2016 to pass a third year of math and two years of foreign language courses. With these changes, the district would no longer require the currently mandated health and applied technology courses.
