BOSTON (WWLP) - Ballot question 2 passed, removing MCAS standardized testing as a high school graduation requirement. Healey asks that six be pardoned for crimes Since ballot question 2 passed, state leaders who were opposed to the measure are speaking up. Question 2 gets rid of MCAS standardized testing as a high school graduation requirement, to replace it with other requirements, like assessment of coursework and teacher feedback. Senate President Karen Spilka expressed her concerns about question 2 leading up to the election, saying MCAS is part of the rigorous system that makes Massachusetts a national leader in education. In late October, Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano both said they were not ready to rule out making legislative changes to this and other voter-approved laws. 22News is awaiting a statement from Spilka's office, updating voters on her plans to address the new law. Governor Maura Healey is also an outspoken no-voter on question 2. In a press conference on Wednesday, she addressed the question's passage. "The voters have spoken on this and I think what's important now is that DECI get out the appropriate guidance right now in terms of implementation," said Healey. When asked if she would consider supporting a legislative measure to overturn the ballot results, Healey said she would not engage in hypotheticals, but she would review quote "anything that comes to her desk." Lawmakers may take action on other ballot questions and leadership has already announced that they are looking into the constitutionality of question 1.
