SUBJECT:
Civics Test Graduation Requirement Waiver
Jordan School District applied for a waiver from the USBE for the graduation requirement for seniors to pass the Civics Test. We received the following notice from USBE earlier this week:
The Utah State Board of Education met yesterday, May 7, 2020, and approved the civics test graduation requirement waiver requests made on behalf of those students who were not able to access the assessment.
Passing the Civics Test will still be a graduation requirement for future cohorts beyond the Class of 2020. Please contact Ben Jameson or Brooke Anderson in Evaluation, Research & Accountability for questions about the Civics Test administration. All other questions regarding the Civics Test may be directed to Pam Su’a in Teaching & Learning.
