(Providence, RI) -- Parents of Providence high school students will have to sign off that they understand the city's minimum standards for graduation may not give them a ticket to college. The school board is considering reducing the number of credits students need to graduate from 21 to 20 and removing the foreign language requirement for elective courses. A number of Rhode Island colleges require two years of a foreign language before admission. The new graduation policy will align it with the state's minimum standards.
