Former students in Massachusetts get a second chance at a high school diploma. Last month, voters passed that ballot measure to nix the MCAST graduation requirement. Now the state is up with new guidance, saying former students who were denied diplomas because they've flunked the MCAST exam can now get their diplomas retroactively. Now it will be up to the schools to pour through all their records from high school and find out who missed out on a diploma solely
