A 1660 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises certain requirements concerning graduation proficiency test and eliminates requirement that graduation proficiency test be administered to eleventh grade students.

This bill revises New Jersey's high school graduation assessment requirements by eliminating the specific requirement that the graduation proficiency test be administered to 11th grade students. Instead, it requires a Statewide assessment or assessments in reading, writing, and computational skills for all high school students, with opportunities for retesting for those who don't initially demonstrate proficiency. The bill includes a grandfather provision allowing students graduating in 2024 and 2025 to meet requirements under previous regulations. For students graduating in 2026 and later, the Commissioner of Education must develop or designate a new assessment within 60 days of enactment, engaging stakeholders in the process.
