EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding high school graduation requirements.

Idaho's H 298 establishes state minimum high school graduation requirements for all public high schools. It requires students to earn 46 total credits (including 29 in core subjects like language arts, math, science, and social studies) and complete a senior project demonstrating college or career readiness. The bill specifies detailed credit allocations - such as 9 language arts credits, 6 math credits (with algebra/geometry requirements), and 6 science credits (including 2 lab-based) - while allowing local districts to set higher standards. Students may also earn credits through demonstrated mastery of Idaho content standards, and districts can request waivers for the 60-hour-per-credit rule with state approval.
