Ohio Department of Education
Board Recommends
Additional Options for High School Diplomas
State Board of Education Recommended Ohio Lawmakers Create Additional
Options for Earning a High School Diploma for Class of 2018
The State Board of Education on April 11 recommended Ohio lawmakers
create additional options for earning a high school diploma for
students in the class of 2018. The options would be offered to Ohio
students who entered the ninth grade for the first time between July 1,
2014 and July 1, 2015.
The proposed options, which would join three others authorized by State
Board in September 2014, aim to provide more flexibility to Ohio
students and would include requirements based on students’ state test
results and/or other accomplishments.
Requirements may change for the classes of 2019 and beyond.
The State Board directed Superintendent of Public Instruction Paolo
DeMaria to create a work group to consider additional options. The
group, which represented local district superintendents, educator
associations, parents and students, met six times between January and
March 2017.
