After hearing from concerned parents and educators that a proposed overhaul of high school diplomas placed too much emphasis on work after graduation, state education leaders Wednesday suggested a potential fix to help college-bound seniors.
The Indiana Department of Education has proposed new “seals” that students could earn on top of their new diplomas. The seals would show that the graduate is ready to enroll in higher education, ready for employment or ready to enlist in the armed services.
Students could earn multiple seals and the three seals will personalize students’ journeys through high school, state education officials say.
