Book excerpt: In November 1996, Commissioner Andy Tompkins formed a Graduation Standards Task Force "to study the issues surrounding the establishing of high school graduation standards and to report findings and recommendations to the Kansas State Board of Education no later than January, 1998." The primary question to be answered was whether state-level high school graduation standards should be developed... In May 2001, the Kansas State Board of Education approved a set of goals and objectives that indicated a review of graduation requirements. A task force was formed in July 2001 and met on July 31, 2001, and again on August 31. The task force reviewed the current requirements; reviewed "The Lost Opportunity of Senior Year: Finding a Better Way" report prepared by the Education Trust; and reviewed the original proposal.
