Allow parents to opt their students out of standardized testing

Allow parents to opt their students out of standardized testing

Take Action

PSEA is working with elected officials from both parties to reduce high-stakes standardized testing and to take a smarter approach to student assessment in our schools. PSEA is supporting a package of bills to help move Pennsylvania toward that goal.

Send a message to your state lawmakers to support one piece of that package that will give parents more discretion to opt their children out of certain standardized testing.

Feel free to adapt the sample email message to make it personal to you.
Please do not use your school district email address to email state legislators. PSEA advises members not to send messages during instructional time, and comply with your school district's policies.
