LANSING Michigan requested on Monday that standardized testing be waived for the 2020-2021 school year, after a school year marked with instruction inconsistency and difficulty due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Michigan Department of Education submitted the request to the U.S. Department of Education to allow schools to prioritize beginning and end of year benchmark assessments to ensure students are on track with their education and pause federally mandated testing.
Michigan can’t safely and uniformly administer a fair standardized test, state Superintendent Michael Rice said in the request. Inconsistent internet connection and distracted home environments make online test-taking unfair and accommodations for those with language barriers or disabilities are more difficult to provide during the pandemic.
