Members of the State Board of Education were united in their grief, though divided on how and when to respond to the tragedy.

The request to delay the new standards was rebuffed on procedural grounds, but the commissioner and the board president defended them as appropriate.

State Board of Education votes to make the cut score for passing the Graduation Proficiency Assessment higher than the Department of Education suggested.

Starting in a few years, state standardized tests won't be given to sophomores, but graduation tests for juniors will include geometry as well as Algebra I.

Rebuffing the Murphy administration, at least temporarily, the State Board of Education declined to green light changes to high school assessment program.

The replacement of the tests formerly known as PARCC with an entirely new assessment probably won’t be complete in Gov. Phil Murphy’s four-year term.
