NEWARK – School system officials agreed this week to waive final exam requirements as a result of the state-mandated school closure associated with COVID-19.
The Worcester County Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to cancel final exams for semester two and year-long courses for the current school year.
“We have determined it is not in our students’ best interest for final exams to be administered,” said Annette Wallace, the school system’s chief operating officer and academic officer for grades 9-12. “These exams were created with the mindset that our students who face the most challenges would be provided supports prior to the exam and during the exam in an equitable way.”
Wallace said that because of the ongoing school closure, which is set to remain in place at least through May 15, and the continuity of learning initiatives currently underway instead, Worcester County Public Schools administrators recommended waiving final exams.

Well hello...common sense taking place...finally.
This decision has very little to do with the virus. They simply along with all their colleagues do not want to work during the summer.
Really if they can pull it off, who can blame them?
You are a fat, fascist asshole and I hope your business fails.
Absurd
