The State Board' of Education is presenting an early, or you could say late, graduation present to some seniors. At its November meeting the State Board amended the rules gover ning the Competency Testing Program and graduation requirements as follows: Classified seniors who fail to graduate in the school year 1978-79, but fin ish courses in the summer prior to the beginning of the 1979-80 school year, do not have to take and pass the competency examination. However seniors in the class of 1978-79 who do not grad uate with their class or com plete graduation require ments in the summer shall be classified as seniors in the 1979-80 school year and required to take the com petency test. A school based committee from the two high schools and working with the ad ministration has been set up to work out the problems and establish procedures for graduation and issuing diplomas or certificates to those students who in 1980 meet academic requirements for graduation, but who do not pass the competency test. They have a difficult task. CHALK does have one magical power in its box of tricks, when the lid is closed the DUST disappears.
