Day to Day, July 10, 2007:
The Texas legislature has voted to end one of the most controversial aspects of its school accountability system: exit-level exams that students must pass to get their high-school diplomas. The change in policy won't go into effect until 2011, so students are still required to pass to graduate.

Students will still have to pass exams in order to graduate. The new law does away with a single standardized exam administered to 11th graders (they have all the way through their 12th grade year to pass it) and replaces it with 12 separate end-of-course exams that students would take each year as a course is completed.
