College Board AP Tests:


Last week, five blind high school students and the NFB filed a complaint
against the College Board with the United States Department of Education
Office for Civil Rights and Department of Justice on behalf of themselves
and all other blind and deafblind students who are registered to take the
May 2020 advanced placement (AP) tests from the College Board. Read the
press release and complaint at
https://www.nfb.org/programs-services/legal-program/rulings-filings-and-lett
ers#highstakes. 

If you are a blind high school student or the parent of a blind high school
student who is scheduled to take a College Board AP test this spring and
requires accommodations, including but not limited to Braille and tactile
graphics, please contact our legal coordinator, Valerie Yingling, as soon as
possible at vyingling at nfb.org <mailto:vyingling at nfb.org> .
