This bill prohibits the New Jersey Department of Education from administering the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments after the 2015-2016 school year. It mandates that by the 2016-2017 school year, the Commissioner of Education must develop and implement a new Statewide assessment program that excludes PARCC assessments.

The legislation aims to replace the current assessment system with an alternative that aligns with state educational standards, ensuring that students are evaluated through a different method. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
