BREAKING: A victory today in the Senate as we passed a bill to require DESE to waive the MCAS requirement for this academic year!

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, you may know that I was a strong and vocal opponent of high-stakes standardized testing.

In addition to waiving MCAS requirements for this academic year, I firmly believe that we must suspend the high-stakes nature of the test for the next six years at minimum.

The seismic impact of the current disruption in learning will be felt for at least that period of time.

Today is a good first step, but we must go further. What happens next year and in the years after is still unknown. The provision to cancel MCAS must now be considered by the House.
