You can read about the Governor’s signing at California poised to grant high school diplomas retroactively (from Ed Source) and Gov. Jerry Brown signs measure suspending high school exit exam (LA Times).

You can see many of my previous posts on what’s led up to this at The Best Posts & Articles About Why High School Exit Exams Might Not Be A Good Idea, including my last one, Bill Eliminating CA High School Exit Exam Passes Legislature – Will Result In HUGE Increase In ELL Student Motivation.
