            Senate Bill 673 amends the Education Code to require a school district to issue a certificate of attendance to a student who receives special education services and who has completed four years of high school but has not completed the student's individualized education program (IEP).  The bill also requires a district to allow a student who receives a certificate to participate in a graduation ceremony with students receiving high school diplomas.  The bill prohibits a student from participating in more than one graduation ceremony but does not preclude a student from subsequently receiving a diploma on completion of the student's IEP.
