Resolution passed unanimously by the Cambridge School Committee 
on December 7, 1999:



The Superintendent is instructed to institute a policy of no reprisals against students who boycott the test.

Alternative instructional settings should be provided for these students wherever possible. No reprisals are to be taken against teachers or administrators who speak out in criticism of MCAS. A copy of these motions is to be sent to Cambridge¹s State Representatives and Senators, the Association of School Committees, the Department of Education, and the Association of Superintendents. Cambridge will request that the Association of School Committees serve as a repository for this and other local resolutions against the MCAS.
