Make MCAS more accessible to students learning English


Make MCAS more accessible to students learning English
The Issue
We are eighth graders from Massachusetts and recently it has come to our attention that English Language Learning Students (ELLS) are mandated to do standardized testing in English. Even if it is their first day in the country and they have barely started learning it, there are no language options besides English. We want to change this unfair disadvantage via translators or other languages on the test itself. Please sign to make this happen!
