The state Board of Education debated Wednesday whether exemptions are too broad or too narrow for students who can’t graduate from high school because they are unable to pass end-of-instruction exams.
The board discussed changes to several reforms, including the A-F school evaluation system and teacher certification, at a special meeting Wednesday. The board is expected to vote on the proposed changes Thursday.
One hotly-discussed issue was end-of-instruction tests, which Oklahoma high school students are required to pass before receiving their diplomas.
