Revises certain requirements concerning graduation proficiency test and eliminates requirement that graduation proficiency test be administered to eleventh grade students.
This bill eliminates the requirement for New Jersey public high school students to take the statewide graduation proficiency test during 11th grade. It directly affects all 11th-grade students in New Jersey public schools by removing this specific testing mandate. The key provision removes the grade-level requirement from the law, though students must still meet proficiency standards through other approved assessments or methods to graduate. The bill does not eliminate the overall proficiency requirement but changes when the assessment must be administered. This update aligns with recent policy shifts that allow flexibility in how proficiency is demonstrated.
