Exemption from Statewide Standardized Testing

House Bill 2655 went into effect on Jan. 1, and established a Student Assessment Bill of Rights permitting parents or adult students to annually opt out of Oregon's statewide summative tests. Students who opt out of testing will be provided supervised study time while classmates are taking the tests. Juniors will still need to meet the Essential Skills graduation requirement using another approved assessment option. Click here for more information, including the opt-out form.
