Summary

The Gakobe Milton Act lets a local school board issue a high school diploma to a student who has a medically‑diagnosed terminal condition and is receiving end‑of‑life care. A parent or guardian must submit a written request with medical proof, and the state board of education must waive the usual credit requirements. Diplomas can be awarded before death or posthumously.
