|
The Newport-Mesa Unified School District board hosted its third and final public hearing Monday to gather input on changing the district’s trustee zone boundaries before the board decides next week. One of two proposed maps, titled Map B, was created this year under the guidance of a committee with members chosen by Supt. Fred Navarro from areas throughout Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. The second option, Map G, was created based on community input and board direction after the release of Map B. |

California permanently eliminates high school exit exam requirement |
|
California has permanently scrapped its high school exit exam under legislation signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday. The California High School Exit Examination was a requirement to receive a diploma in the state, but the legislature voted in 2015 to drop it for the high school classes of 2015 to 2018. Diplomas were retroactively awarded to anyone who met all other graduation requirements after the test became a mandatory must-pass exam in 2004. |
