Massachusetts voters have approved Ballot Question 2, which eliminates the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) scores as a requirement for high school graduation. This decision marks a significant change in the state's education policy, allowing students to graduate without passing the standardized test. The Associated Press projects that the measure will be overwhelmingly supported, reflecting a shift in public sentiment regarding educational assessments. The approval of Question 2 follows a long-standing debate over the role of standardized testing in education and its impact on students' futures.
