Lawmakers may be considering alternative resolutions to ballot questions that seek to remove the MCAS as a graduation requirement and those that deal with rideshare drivers in Massachusetts, a top House Democrat said Wednesday.

Rep. Alice Peisch, a Wellesley Democrat who co-led a committee tasked with reviewing initiative petitions, said “there are some discussions going on” around the ballot questions. Legislators and former Gov. Charlie Baker most notably struck an agreement in 2018 to resolve a ballot question push to increase the state’s minimum wage, among other things.

“I believe that there are some ongoing on a couple of issues. Whether those will result in something similar to what happened six years ago or not remains to be seen,” Peisch said, referring to the 2018 deal. “There’s some conversation on the MCAS question. I believe there are some on the rideshare question and there may be on the others as well.”

The committee Peisch led alongside Sen. Cindy Friedman, an Arlington Democrat, recommended against passing any of the ten ballot questions it reviewed, including the proposals Peisch said may be the subject of discussions.

In their letter on the MCAS ballot question, lawmakers on the committee said removing the MCAS as a graduation requirement “eliminates the uniform graduation requirement without creating a uniform alternative.”

“Simply eliminating the uniform graduation requirement, which will allow students to graduate who do not meet basic standards, with no standardized and consistent benchmark in place to ensure those standards are met, will not improve student outcomes and runs the risk of exacerbating inconsistencies and inequities in instruction and learning across districts,” the lawmakers wrote.

Advocates of the proposal like the Massachusetts Teachers Association have argued standardized testing as a requirement to graduate high school disproportionately harms marginalized students.

Instead of the test, the ballot question calls on students to complete coursework certified by their school district as demonstrating mastery of “the competencies contained in the state academic standards in mathematics, science, technology, and English,” a summary of the proposal produced by Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s office said.

A standardized test is a “poor tool for capturing the breadth and depth of student knowledge,” the Massachusetts Teachers Association said at the end of May.

“Most other states with high-performing public schools have abandoned the use of standardized tests as graduation requirements. These high-stakes tests in Massachusetts each year prevent approximately 700 students who have otherwise met all other local graduation requirements from receiving a high school diploma,” the organization said in a statement.

Multiple ballot questions this election cycle deal with rideshare drivers, including a push to classify them as independent contractors with some benefits over full-time employees and another granting the workers the right to unionize.

Efforts to classify rideshare drivers as independent contractors have played out in Massachusetts over the past several years, with a judge a previous question off the ballot in June 2022 because it dealt with too many matters.
