Oregon Moms Union President: 'Not surprising' state suspended basic skills requirement in high schools
“It’s not surprising that they’ve continued to push off the implementation of new graduation requirements,” Oregon Moms Union President MacKensey Pulliam told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“Let’s be clear: we haven’t eliminated assessments for Oregon students. What’s changed is the insistence on a specific test score for graduation. Our students still need to meet essential skill requirements as indicated in their coursework, CTE pathway options, and more,” Oregon Department of Education spokesman Marc Siegel told Fox News Digital on Monday.Oregon said students who fail to demonstrate proficiency will not be required to make it up in the following year.
The policy was put in place in 2012. Former Democratic Oregon Gov. Kate Brown in 2021 signed a bill freezing the requirement during the pandemic. ODE’s assistant superintendent of research told KTVL the research showed that academic outcomes could be predicted by race and other attributes.
