New Jersey S2590 mandates approval from the State Board of Education before the Commissioner of Education can impose new standardized assessment.

New Jersey S2590 requires the Commissioner of Education to obtain approval from the State Board of Education before imposing any new standardized assessment requirements on public schools. This bill defines "standardized assessment" as an evaluation administered to all students in a specific grade level or subject area, with results aggregated for analysis. The requirement does not apply to existing assessment requirements updated or revised with a new version or form. The bill aims to ensure that any new standardized assessments are subject to board approval before affecting public schools.
