| B. | Update to Admissions Policy | Vote | Ned Southworth | 10 m | |
|
School leadership would like to remove the English/Reading placement exam requirement for high school applicants. We waived this requirement last year due to COVID, and feel that the time and effort required on the part of applicant families is not worth the benefit.
We propose removing section 4.f.ii.1.c., (page 2) which is the paragraph that discusses the English/Reading placement exam. The rest of the policy would remain in force. |
