Confusion Over Technical Diploma
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | May 14, 2012
It has come to our attention that there is some confusion over the provisions of 2011 Wisconsin Act 156, which permits a school board to grant a technical education high school diploma to pupils. The Wisconsin Legislative Council has produced a fine summary memo of Act 156 for your information.
In reviewing the memo, please note that the school board may grant a technical diploma to a student who “satisfies the credit requirements and earns the number of credits for high school graduation as established by statute and the school board” (emphasis added). Therefore the pupil must meet the requirements under state law plus the requirements established for graduation by the local school board. Simply meeting the state requirements will not suffice.
