Keystone Exam Options

The State Board of Education approved options for the use of Keystone Exams that would allow school districts to use them without the exam scores counting as 1/3 of the course grade. School districts that choose to use the Keystone Exams alone as the graduation requirement and independent of course grades would not have to go through a local assessment validation process. Under this new flexibility, school districts have the option to separate the exams from the course grades.
