I think there is a proposal being developed to amend this. get on the nifl-esl listserv and pose the question. One problem is that each state is different. The ESL rep at the Texas Education Agency would be a good source (see web page). It is a dilemma but they do it every year. judy@kdi.com Jodi [JoAnn] Crandall wrote: > Hi. > > I'm not sure who wrote this, but I have a question: > What happens when students enter school in high school and have only 3 > years, for example, in > which to learn English and complete graduation requirements? > Are they exempt? > Are they still eligible for a diploma? > Can they try for a Regents diploma? > > These are all serious questions here in Maryland, where we are moving to a > set of 12 high school assessments, of which students will be required to > successfully complete 10 for graduation. > > Jodi Crandall > > At 07:33 AM 7/16/98 -0400, Aaw926@aol.com wrote: > >Hi-- > > > >This would NOT have been a problem in New York City public schools.
