The Indiana State Board of Education unanimously approved changes for high school diplomas Wednesday morning. The board voted 11-0 in favor of the changes at a meeting Dec. 11. This was the second draft of the proposal to redesign the requirements for students to get their high school diplomas. "Today, we got a major step closer, and now, it comes to implementation," State Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner said. The new proposed model offers a base diploma with minimum requirements for all students. Students would earn 42 credits instead of the current 40 credits needed. Students have the opportunity to earn readiness seals with a focus on higher education, the workforce or military enlistment.
