At-A-Glance The Profile of Learning will remain unchanged this year after a House-Senate committee deadlocked over whether to fix or abolish the graduation standards. The conference committee spent three days trying to work out a compromise but gave up when it was clear neither side would budge. The House voted overwhelmingly in April to repeal the profile, a system which puts more emphasis on projects than on book work and classroom time. The repeal came as an amendment to a bill dealing with indoor air rules.
