QOD: Re: Odds of NJ Delaying Implementation of Common Core and PARCC

“a pair of bills that would delay implementation of the Common Core and PARCC (Partnership for the Assessment of College and Career Readiness), its online testing component, are going nowhere fast.”

That’s from today’s NJ Spotlight, which quotes Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May) who is sponsoring a bill to delay PARCC. The Senator says that the bill is unlikely to get any traction because of lack of support from other Democrats and the Christie administration.
