"There is no benefit to our children by requiring them to repeat a year based on a single test score given the disruptions of COVID, so we are waiving the grade promotion requirements from STAAR this year for our students." - Commissioner Morath
Waiving the grade promotion requirement related to STAAR testing for the upcoming 2020-21 school year.

These are the burdens our medical heroes already face in NYC. It's only going to get harder across the country. Another reason to maintain social distancing policies at least until we have comprehensive testing in place. Not just for our sake—for theirs. newyorker.com/news/our-local…
