MecklenburgACTS.org will be holding an information meeting on Sunday, March 16, at 4 p.m. for families who would like to discuss opting out of/refusing End of Grade tests and North Carolina Final Exams. The meeting will take place  at 1713 Tippah Ave., in Charlotte’s Plaza-Midwood neighborhood.

If you plan to come, please RSVP to info@mecklenburgacts.org.

We have posted a number of opt-out/refusal information sheets in the Opting out section of the MecklenburgACTS.org website.

North Carolina residents, please consider signing our petition in support of the North Carolina opt-out families and their call for more sensible assessments.

For more information about the reasons behind opting out/refusing, please see the Raleigh News & Observer editorial written by MecklenburgACTS.org co-chair Pamela Grundy and Wake County mother Ilina Ewen to explain why their families will be opting out of/refusing this year’s state tests.
