New Test Mandates In OH

After a year of learning upended by the pandemic, Ohio students would have extra time to take state-mandated tests…under an emergency measure passed unanimously by the Ohio House. The bill now heads to Gov., DeWine’s desk, where he will sign it into law. It gives juniors and seniors the ability to substitute final course grades…for results from end-of-course tests taken this school year for graduation purposes. The measure will also exempt schools from administering the typically required American history exams.
