State Rep. Jimmy Love (D – Harnett, Lee) filed HB223-09, a very sensible bill that would require the legislature’s Program Evaluation Division to study the cost and effectiveness of requiring high school graduation projects. Local school boards would be permitted to keep the requirement in place.
Until the empirical evidence says otherwise, I do not think that graduation projects are worth the time and money that school district personnel and families would have to invest to complete them. Then again, when has the State Board of Education ever cared about costs and benefits?
