MA Ballot Question 2. Ballot Question 2 in Massachusetts asks the voters whether a passing MCAS score should be a graduation requirement for public school students throughout the state. The MA Teachers Association, who have been on NightSide recently to discuss Que. 2, is the main proponent of the ballot question. State officials oppose the ballot measure and support a “state standard” for graduation. Matt Hills, vice-chair of the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education joins Dan to discuss!
