http://www.latimes.com/news/education/la-me-exitexam2jun02,1,429122.story?coll=la-news-learning"One in 10 California high school seniors will not receive a diploma this month because they failed the state's high school exit exam, according to data released Thursday by the state Department of Education. Students who are Latino, black, English learners or poor were disproportionately represented in the failure rates.
"State Supt. Jack O'Connell urged the 41,758 seniors across the state who had not passed the exam to continue striving to receive their diploma, in summer school, independent study or community college.
""Their education is simply not complete, but they are still welcome and still part of the public-school family,'he said. 'We will find a place to help them prepare for their future.'"
