Utah State Sen. Chris Buttars says his state should make 12th grade optional to students who have already completed their required high school credits.

The Los Angeles Times said Monday while Buttars initially proposed the complete elimination of 12th grade to trim spending, he has since suggested the state try to save as much as $60 million by making the grade optional.

Utah State Sen. Howard A. Stephenson applauded the proposal from Buttars, a Republican.

“The bottom line is saving taxpayer dollars while improving options for students,” said Stephenson, another Republican. “The more options we give to students to accelerate, the more beneficial it is to students and taxpayers.”
