NJ PARCC Testing to End

Gov.-elect Phil Murphy says he plans to follow through on his campaign promise to end the controversial PARCC test, and he took the first step in his plans to do so this past week.
Murphy, who will be sworn-in as governor at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, announced Friday that he appointed Asbury Park School District Superintendent Lamont Repollet to head the state Department of Education, and asked him "to end the failed experiment that has been PARCC testing."

 It's not clear when Murphy plans to end the test, or if plans to substitute it with another standardized test. But he did suggest on the campaign trail that, perhaps, there will be no replacement. He wants to return to "student-centered" teaching.
"You know your students needs better than a test, period," he told the NJEA. "The era of high-stakes, high-stress standardized tests in New Jersey must end and I will see that it does."
