Oregon’s governor signed a bill into law that removes the need for students to prove the writing or math ability normally expected of high school graduates. This does not immediately take effect. Education personnel responsible for enforcing this law indicated that this would not be implemented on students who have already begun high school. However, students who start high school after this bill’s passing will be affected.<\/p>\n

From the Bulletin:<\/span><\/p>\n

The requirement that students demonstrate freshman- to sophomore-level skills in reading, writing and, particularly, math led many high schools to create workshop-style courses to help students strengthen their skills and create evidence of mastery. Most of those courses have been discontinued since the skills requirement was paused during the pandemic before lawmakers killed it entirely.<\/p>\n

Democrats in the legislature overwhelmingly supported ending the longtime proficiency requirement, while Republicans criticized it as a lowering of academic standards. A couple lawmakers crossed party lines on the votes.<\/p>\n

Proponents said the state needed to pause Oregon’s high school graduation requirements, in place since 2009 but already suspended during the pandemic, until at least the class of 2024 graduates in order for leaders to reexamine its graduation requirements. Recommendations for new standards are due to the Legislature and Oregon Board of Education by September 2022.<\/p>\n

However, since Oregon education officials have long insisted they would not impose new graduation requirements on students who have already begun high school, new requirements would not take effect until the class of 2027 at the very earliest. That means at least five more classes could be expected to graduate without needing to demonstrate proficiency in math and writing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
