Bill overview
This bill modifies the requirements for a high school diploma in Michigan, primarily focusing on mathematics and social science credits. It mandates that students complete specific math courses, including algebra I, geometry, and algebra II, with flexibility in how those credits can be earned. The bill also requires completion of social science credits, including U.S. and world history, and adds requirements for future skills, personal finance, and workplace development courses, starting in 2029. Additionally, it introduces provisions for specialty schools, exempting them from certain Michigan Merit Standard requirements if they meet specific criteria.
