Governor Signs Bill Forgiving Polar Vortex Emergency Days
Michigan’s high school juniors would have one less standardized test to take each spring, under legislation that passed out of the House Education Committee on Tuesday.
HB 4162 would eliminate the ACT WorkKeys career readiness test from the Michigan Merit Examination required of juniors, which also includes the SAT and the M-STEP science and social studies assessments.
Advocates for the change say the skills tested in the WorkKeys assessment overlap with other required tests, and eliminating it would save time and money and reduce stress on students.
