Roberson notes lawmakers in Aiken County push to sponsor or concur with a bill that would recognize improvements under the PACT system. The S C Education Oversight Committee has already removed the composite grade and will display the actual performance grade and improvement rating. Schools suffered lower grades last December due to weak improvement scores while reading and math PACT tests and field tests continue for grades 3-8. Eighth graders will face the PACT exit exam as sophomores in 2004 and must pass by senior year to graduate.
