Comments: 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."
