Change to Course Drop/Add

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in some public school units implementing remote learning plans, TEST-003, Requirements Regarding End-of-Course Assessments was amended and approved by the State Board of Education on August 7, 2020. The State Board of Education approved amending the number of days allowed to remove a student from an EOC-associated course from the first 10 days of a semester block schedule or the first 20 days of a yearlong traditional schedule to the first 30 days of a semester block schedule or the first 60 days of a yearlong traditional schedule. This is effective for the 2020–21 school year only.

Thank you for all you do!
