I am in support of removing the provision requiring SOL tests to count for 10% of a student's grade. Students are already required to earn 5 verified credits to graduate from high school, which shows that Virginia high school students already meet rigorous requirements to graduate. Additionally, local school districts should have the autonomy to establish their own final assessment and course grading guidelines in line with cognitive science and educational research.
