Since the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major disruption for school districts, the Georgia Department of Education is loosening grading and promotion requirements for students while issuing guidance on how districts can proceed.
The DOE announced Tuesday that it had received federal approval to waive state testing requirements, including the Georgia Milestones, End-of-Grade and End-of-Course tests, GAA 2.0 and GKIDS. The state will also not report CCRPI scores for 2020.
