The Murphy administration has wrapped up its plans to postpone standardized testing for this school year, confirming with districts this week that there will be no state testing this spring and telling them to be ready for it in the fall instead.
The state Department of Education on Wednesday alerted districts to the
final plan, ending months of speculation and considerable confusion as to what the administration sought to do and what the federal government would allow.
The state last week had initially informed districts of its plans to postpone the tests pending federal approval, but officials acknowledged a week later under questioning from legislators that there were still details to confirm with the federal Department of Education.
