[edit] Exit Exam
The West Contra Costa Unified School District was the first school district in California to even consider defying state requirements that high school seniors class 2006 and beyond take the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). It was to have students with otherwise passing grade point averages (GPAs) that failed the exit exam still be able to graduate with a diploma, which would have been illegal since the exam is mandatory under state law. By a vote of 4 to 1, the district dismissed plans to do so, and is now, along with many other school districts, going to issue certificates to those "graduates" instead, with words explaining that the students have fulfilled their requirements with the exception of the exit exam.
