Christie, rewriting rules for graduation, will fill in blanks later
After much talk since taking office, Gov. Chris Christie yesterday finally released his plans — some new, some old — to raise the requirements for gaining a high school diploma in New Jersey.
But it will be some time for the changes to take hold, if they get that far. The first students to face the requirements will be today’s fourth graders when they reach high school in 2016.
Christie and his top education staff yesterday used a visit to West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional High School North — one of the state’s higher performing schools — to unveil a much-anticipated list of proposed changes to what will be required to graduate from a New Jersey high school.
