Carcieri to discuss new graduation requirements

PROVIDENCE -- Governor Carcieri plans to speak today at a Providence club about new standards for earning a high school diploma. Under the changes, students must complete 20 courses in English, math, science, social studies and other subjects.

They must also demonstrate proficiency in statewide tests for English and math and complete a portfolio that demonstrates what they've learned.

Until now, graduation requirements have been set by local school districts.
