- As we noted earlier, the Ohio State Board of Education this week discussed changing the state’s new graduation requirements before they were fully implemented, amid widely-publicized fears of a “graduation apocalypse”. I don’t know about that last part, but no changes were made to said requirements this week. Instead, a workgroup will be impaneled to further discuss the issue and to make recommendations somewhere down the road. Chad testified before the board yesterday on the topic. Coverage of the non-decision which notes and/or quotes Chad’s testimony can be found in Gongwer (Gongwer Ohio, 12/13/16) and on Ideastream public radio.
