news:XnsAADBE06629B1Eda@178.63.61.145:

Oregon school chiefs have again suspended the need for high schoolers to
prove their math, reading and writing skills in order to graduate.

The State Board of Education voted last week to continue the suspension
for another five years amid claims they are unfair on minority students
who don't test well.

In order to earn a diploma, graduating students were previously required
to earn standardized test scores indicating proficiency in reading,
writing and math.

But this was put on pause during the pandemic as standardized tests
weren't happening amid school closures.

Following a unanimous vote by the Oregon State Board of Education last
week, the requirement will not be in place for at least the next five
years.

Opponents of the essential skills requirement argued it was harmful to
students of color, students with disabilities and those learning English
as a second language.

These groups were frequently required to take extra math and writing
classes in their senior year to prove they deserved to graduate.

But board members underscored that state-mandated standardized tests will
still be administered to most Oregon high school students - they just
won't be used to determine whether a student has the skills necessary to
graduate.
'The only thing we are suspending is the inappropriate use of how those
assessments were being used,' state board member Vicky L�pez S�nchez, a
dean at Portland Community College, said during Thursday's meeting.

'I think that really is in the best interest of Oregon students.'

Hundreds of people submitted public comments urging the board to reinstate
the standards.

But Board Chair Guadalupe Martinez Zapata described the pushback as a
'campaign of misinformation.'

During a September meeting, she likened 'rhetoric about cultural and
social norms being the underlying reason for underperformance on
assessments by systemically marginalized students' to 'racial superiority
arguments.'

'It is not bigoted, it is not racist to want your student to be able to
actually learn,' former gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan told FOX
News.
