AI Summary

This bill proposes to eliminate the use of the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) or any other state-developed standardized test as the sole basis for high school graduation. The existing law currently requires students to pass the MCAS test as part of the competency determination for graduation. This bill aims to remove that requirement, allowing for alternative methods to assess student competency beyond the use of a single standardized test.
