The
State Board of Education granted Wake County Public School Systems waiver to
eliminate the North Carolina Final Exams in 2015. A waiver was requested by
Wake County in early April, asking to withhold the North Carolina Final Exams
this year, due to losing too many educational days from weather conditions.
The NCFE will be replaced by teacher made exams. Due to the waiver,
senior exemptions are now back on the table. Exemptions are based on the traditional
tally of absences in relation to the grade in the class. The EOC, EOG and
AP tests are unaffected by this decision.
CTE
exams are going to be given on May 27 and May 28 with scheduling that will
extend classes into three hour long periods with a single lunch. A
complete test schedule can be found on the Apex High School website detailing
times.
