allow some high school students to graduate two years early and
start taking community college courses.
State education Commissioner Lyonel Tracy said the goal is to
give students who are ready a chance to get a jump-start to their
college education. Students who pass the exam - which has yet to be
developed - wouldn't necessarily have to start taking college
courses. And those who do still could take part in high school
extracurricular activities.
The proposal, which would limit students to taking courses
offered by local community colleges, was inspired by a report that
argued that American education needs a drastic overhaul to remain
competitive in the global economy.
