<b>Bill Summary:</b> Specifies that the Department of Education may not require a school district to administer a State assessment via the Internet prior to the 2016-2017 school year; states New Jersey is a governing member of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), and as part of the State's participation in PARCC, the department has stated its intent to administer State assessments via the Internet, starting in the 2014-2015 school year; bill prohibits the administration of state assessments via the Internet prior to 2016-2017 school year.<br>

<b>Comments:</b> From legislation text: "Various reports have indicated that many New Jersey school districts will need to incur significant costs to upgrade hardware and software to meet the minimum capacity outlined by PARCC to administer assessments via the Internet. Additionally, a number of states that have transitioned to online assessments experienced significant disruptions during testing due to the testing vendors lack of hardware capacity to accommodate the significant number of simultaneous test takers. Delaying the transition to Internet-based testing will provide schools with sufficient time to make the necessary equipment and software upgrades, and allow potential assessment vendors to develop the necessary capacity."

<b>Legislative Objective:</b> Alignment: Assessment<br>
<b>Bill Summary:</b> Reduces the overall costs of the state assessment system by: (1) Implementing assessments of English language arts and mathematics developed by a multistate consortium in which Washington took part beginning in the 2014-2015 school year; (2) Combining assessments of reading and writing into an English language arts assessment; (3) Maximizing use of the consortium assessments in adapting the high school English language arts and end-of-course mathematics assessments; and (4) Reducing to three the number of assessments that will be required for students to graduate beginning with the class of 2015. Directs the tenth grade English language arts assessment and the end-of-course mathematics and biology assessments to be used to assess foundational skills that are needed for graduation. Provides that the new college and career readiness consortium assessments, which will be administered at the end of the eleventh grade, are intended to demonstrate the level of a student's readiness for first-year college-level coursework.<br>
