All 11th Grade Students Must Attend In Person On March 9th Regardless of Staggered Schedule Edmonson Voice Report:
Edmonson County High School has announced some schedule changes and important points regarding the upcoming ACT on March 9, 2021. Senate Bill 1, 2017, mandates that all 11th grade students take a college admissions examination. The Kentucky Department of Education’s primary use of the college admissions exam is to measure students' level of readiness for college in core academic content areas. Meeting benchmarks on the ACT is one way students may demonstrate academic readiness in the Transition Readiness indicator of the state's accountability system for schools. The ACT test is scheduled for Tuesday. March 9, 2021. ALL 11th grade students (regardless of assigned school days or learning platform) should be present at Edmonson County High School on March 9th to complete this required assessment. Because of testing protocols that are compliant with KDE’s Safe at School guidelines, only 11th graders will report to ECHS in-person on March 9th. All other ECHS students (9th, 10th, and 12th graders) will have a virtual learning day on March 9th. All other schools will operate on their normal schedule. "We realize this is not an ideal situation, but because of COVID restrictions, it will take twice as many proctors and testing rooms to administer the ACT as it has in the past," said a statement from the Board of Education. " This is the best plan we can find to ensure a safe and secure testing environment for our students." FAQs
