AI Summary
This bill proposes a three-year moratorium on the use of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) or other mandated state assessments as a condition for high school graduation. It also prohibits the use of student achievement measures on MCAS or any successor test, as well as student growth measures based on standardized tests, for the purpose of assessing the performance of any public school or school district.
