Concern about increasing the standards when the test isn't valid and reliable. Don't certify the 10 th grade test as a CoM requirement for graduation until the vast majority of students demonstrate that they can pass it. Concern about students with IEPs and who needs accommodations. Even the 4 th and 7 th grade tests aren't passable by a high number of students. We need the students and parents to be a part of the increase of standards.
Parental support is essential.
Need four years for graduation. Tie the CoM to lower insurance rates. Tie the CoM to Running Start eligibility. Repeated concern about students who are ill-prepared to pass the test. IEP will be used in the determinations.
