House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) issued a statement following the Indiana Department of Education and Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner releasing an updated draft of high school diploma changes.
"I appreciate Dr. Katie Jenner and the State Board of Education offering solutions, listening to feedback and making changes while prioritizing student needs," Huston said. "She and her team have been hard at work meeting with teachers, parents, higher education officials and many other stakeholders to improve upon Indiana's high school diploma redesign."
Huston emphasized that the updated changes will strengthen Indiana's graduation requirements while providing flexibility to meet the needs of all students, including those who choose not to attend traditional college.
"Students won't be left behind as they can earn a postsecondary credential or certificate that will give them the skills and experience needed in the 21st-century workforce," he added. "Because of the continued work and collaboration at all levels, Indiana will lead the nation in creating a relevant and student-focused high school experience."
