An Act to eliminate the use of the mcas for high school graduation

This bill proposes to remove the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) test from the requirements for high school graduation in the state. It directly affects public high schools and students by amending state law to ensure that standardized test scores cannot be used to determine if a student has met the necessary competencies to graduate. The key provision explicitly states that the MCAS or any other state-developed standardized test shall not be a component of the competency determination for graduation.
