"There is no benefit to our children by requiring them to repeat a year based on a single test score given the disruptions of COVID, so we are waiving the grade promotion requirements from STAAR this year for our students." - Commissioner Morath

Waiving the grade promotion requirement related to STAAR testing for the upcoming 2020-21 school year.
