Summary

The bill changes the graduation rules so that a student can satisfy the required arts, language or career‑technical course with a career‑technical education (CTE) class, and it makes that option permanent. It adds notification steps for districts, keeps new ethnic‑studies and personal‑finance requirements, and sets up state reimbursement for any costs the state imposes. The change impacts all public high schools, charter schools, and the students they serve.
