In a bit of a surprise, the Murphy administration has won permission from the federal government to hold off on the state’s student testing program for this spring and to administer an abbreviated version in the fall.
But after what turned out to be a busy 24 hours of discussion on the topic, what exactly will take place to measure student performance in the meantime remains in question, as worries mount over the potential damage the pandemic has wrought on school instruction and learning.
Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday confirmed in his daily coronavirus media briefing that the federal Department of Education has permitted the state to suspend its standardized Student Learning Assessments for the second year, due to the many challenges to carrying out such testing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Jersey will delay standardized testing for the majority of its students until the fall, allowing teachers valuable time for in-person instruction over the coming weeks, Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday.
The U.S. Department of Education approved New Jersey’s plan for statewide testing in the fall using the new “Start Strong” exams, according to a letter it sent Tuesday. Those exams, a streamlined version of the annual New Jersey Student Learning Assessments, were piloted with about 90,000 students last autumn in an optional testing window for schools to gauge learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic.
