Dear Speaker Bledsoe:
I am writing in response to your request for a formal legal opinion regarding whether or not the state can mandate minimum standards at various levels of K-12 education, including high school graduation. Your request poses the question of whether the state legislature has authority to impose academic and nonacademic requirements as a condition of promotion at various levels of K-12 education and/or as a condition of receiving a high school diploma.
