What Happens if Someone Dies During an Exam?

During the first round of COVID-19 quarantine, officials in New York City mandated that schools were not allowed to give “most students failing grades,” according to Chalk Beat. This was meant to take different factors of remote learning into consideration, like if someone had the virus in a student’s home, if the child had reliable access to WiFi, and more.

In an event like the Boston Marathon bombing, The Boston Globe reported that schools canceled their final exams when the manhunts were taking place.
