Hello. The issue of the implementation of the California High School Exit Exam was actually voted on this year in the both houses of the California Legislature. Both the Assembly and Senate voted on Assembly Bill 356, which delays implementation of the exit exam and eliminates the exam as a high school graduation requirement. Thus, the politicians who are for and against implementation of the exit exam are on record as a result of this vote. An "Aye" vote was to delay implementation of the exit exam and eliminate it as a high school graduation requirement. A "No" vote was FOR implementation of the exit exam. In the Assembly...

I'm sorry that you were disappointed. What was it that you wanted that wasn't provided? If you're curious about the position of a particular politician not listed, I could try to do additional research. Let me know. |

Again, in the body of my answer, you'll find a pretty big list of politicians (i.e., all members of the legistlature) for and against implentation of the California high school exit exam. From what I can tell, Arnold Schwarzenegger has not taken a position on this issue one way or the other. http://www.joinarnold.com/en/agenda/#B1 http://www.joinarnold.com/en/agenda/arnoldsviews.php#E1 Any other politicians you're curious about? |

Davis has been a big supporter of the exit exam. "The high school exit exam is a key piece of Gov. Gray Davis' testing and school accountability program. " http://csmp.ucop.edu/cmp/comet/2002/10_04_2002.html "Meanwhile, Gov. Gray Davis has touted the exam in his re-election campaign and regards it as a cornerstone of his educational achievements." http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2002/52_Percent-Fail-High-School30sep02.htm I haven't been able to find anything that suggests Davis supported or opposed the decision to delay the exit exam requirement until 2006. ------ Superintendent of Schools, Jack O'Connell, a Davis ally, was the author of the bill that created the high school exit exam requirement. He supported the two-year delay, but is in favor of implementing the requirement eventually. "Although he authored the bill to enact the exam and said he remains an ardent supporter of the goals of the exam, O’Connell asked the board on July 9 to delay the exit exam for two years." http://www.csba.org/co/top_stories/july03/top_story7_9_03_3.htm |
