At the state level, this is usually done by earning a passing score on MCAS. This requirement is for all students educated at public expense, including those at public schools, at educational collaboratives and those in approved and unapproved private special education schools.Students must earn a passing score on the grade 10 MCAS tests in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science and Technology/Engineering (STE) tests to meet their CD requirement.
