Keystone Exams Approved
The Independent Regulatory Review Commission voted 4-1 today to approve the Keystone Exams, although the new rules allow local school boards to substitute their own alternatives.
The regulations must undergo a technical review by the attorney general's office, but they're expected to be published and become law in about two months.
If the federal government gives its approval, the Keystone Exams will replace the 11th grade PSSAs.
School districts can develop their own assessments as long as they meet certain standards. They can also allow students to substitute advanced placement or International Baccalaureate exams if the content is similar to the Keystones.
