FIFTY local resolutions.
Over 200,000 doors.
More than 1 MILLION phone calls.
And it all comes down to today—when we pass Question 2 and end the high-stakes, one-size-fits-all graduation requirement that harms hundreds of students a year.
You still have 2 hours to vote, MA!

LISTEN: the MCAS graduation requirement is discriminatory. Reducing students to their scores exacerbates existing inequities and undermines our high standards.
@massteacher President Max Page & Lynn School Superintendent Evonne Alverez explain why:

Students' readiness for the future has never been demonstrated by a single standardized test—not SATs, GREs or GMATs.
One test should not be the gatekeeper of anyone's future. Mike Rubin, Uxbridge High School Principal, is voting YES on 2 for all students, and all their futures.

Kicked off a canvas yesterday with @JakeForSenate and members of the @massteacher. We have an opportunity to ensure equity by voting yes on @question2_ma. To many students are harmed by the fact you can’t get a diploma unless you pass the MCAS. #MaPoli

SPOTLIGHT: @MascaSchool
The crushing stress of high-stakes testing limits students' classroom learning and multiplies their stress.
School counselors work toward students' wellbeing every day. Removing the stress-inducing MCAS graduation requirement helps them do just that.

ICYMI: @massteacher President Max Page appeared on WCVB for YES on 2.
The graduation requirement is punitive to students and narrows the curriculum. Question 2 replaces the high-stakes one-size-fits-all test with a holistic focus on our high standards.

This straight-A student with ADHD who loves math is asking you to vote YES on 2.
It's not fair that a single score from a one-size-fits-all test can prevent a student from graduation when that student has worked hard shown they're prepared to graduate. Vote Yes on 2!

Matt Damon is a huge supporter of labor and the son of an educator - this is a great breakdown of why Massachusetts residents should stand with parents and teachers and vote YES on Question 2 to eliminate the emphasis on a single test for high school graduation 👇

Mike is a firefighter in Quincy now, but in high school, he worried about the MCAS all the time.
It's time to replace the harmful, one-size-fits-all MCAS graduation requirement with an approach that's good for all students—whether or not they're good at taking tests.

Like State Auditor @DianaDiZoglio says: there are many ways to measure a student’s success. We shouldn’t let one high-stakes test be the only way—so vote yes on 2!
