The USDOE has waived the federal requirement mandating states administer annual statewide assessments required pursuant to section 1111(b)(2) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, for school year 2019-2020. However, the federal requirement does not waive New Jersey statutory requirements for annual assessments. Executive Order 117, signed April 7, 2020, authorizes and empowers the Commissioner of Education to waive, suspend, or modify existing rules within Title 6A of N.J.A.C and to promulgate such changes in accordance with sections of N.J.S.A. 18A.
