Unless the Ohio legislature lowers their new high school graduation requirements, it's estimated that as many as one-third of Ohio's current high school juniors would not be able to earn their high school diplomas in 2018.

The debate, though, centers on the larger issue of what a high school diploma should signify in Ohio. Board members and experts who have appeared before the board note that most jobs today require more skills than high school graduates have, so expectations must be raised.>>

It's not addressed in these articles whether these same tougher standards apply to private schools, charter schools, parochial schools, etc., accepting state-funded vouchers or other state funding.
