State to give assessment tests for grades 3-8 in
April
The state assessment tests in ELA and
mathematics for grades 3-8 will be given in April instead of May
according to New York State Education Commissioner Dr. John B. King,
Jr.
In a letter to superintendents from around the
state, King said as the state implements the new teacher and
principal evaluation system, the timing of the assessment results
becomes increasingly more important.
"In order to ensure results are available in
time for these evaluations to be completed, we must have the
assessments completed, graded and the results distributed to the
field by June 15," he said. "That deadline necessitates the exams be
administered in April. Again, I apologize for the added stress that
this may cause."
