The state Board of Education voted Thursday to require all high-school students to pass algebra II to graduate, and it agreed to work toward raising other graduation requirements as well.
Board members have been discussing, for example, whether to increase the number of classes students would have to complete to earn their diplomas, essentially making the list equal to what they'd need to apply to public, four-year colleges in Washington. That would mean additional classes in English, science, foreign language and more.
On Thursday, board members agreed in principle with that goal, as long as the Legislature provides the money high schools would need to offer those classes.

I see a return to the separate technical high school on the horizon.
