Easton Area School District to drop final exams this spring
Updated Jan 06, 2021;
You can watch the discussion on the school district YouTube channel.
Director of Secondary Education Michael Koch said children have gotten less instructional time this year due to COVID-19. He said high-stakes tests put a lot of pressure on children already dealing with the pandemic.
“The stress and complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are causing us to rethink some of our grading practices,” Koch said.
Rather than set up dates to prepare for the finals and slot out dates to administer the finals, the district will use that time for more student instruction.
