Despite deep concerns over elevating student stress just as children are returning to school, standardized testing will take place this spring for
about
million California students.
With limited options, the state Board of Education voted against pursuing a blanket waiver from the federal government to suspend mandated standardized testing after the Biden administration released guidance this week that encouraged states to move forward with testing but come up with ways to ease the process.
The decision Wednesday came after educators and parents pleaded with board members to cancel testing while others stressed the importance of capturing the extent of learning loss during pandemic-forced campus closures. ....

States are required to conduct standardized tests every year in math, English language arts and science, according to both state laws and the federal Every Student Succeeds Act. When schools shut their buildings in March last year due to the pandemic, however, state officials said districts did not have to administer the tests, pending getting a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education under then-Secretary Betsy DeVos. The department quickly granted waivers to all states relieving them of their testing obligations. ....
