State Board of Education members agreed Thursday to move ahead on a proposed rule that would allow high school athletes to receive twice as much credit toward graduation as allowed under current state requirements.
The proposal – allowing four years of sports to count for credit instead of two – will be drafted as a new state rule and voted on by the board at its next meeting in September.
Although some board members voiced reservations about the idea, most who spoke on the issue Thursday expressed support for the rule, calling it a matter of fairness for thousands of student athletes in Texas high schools.
