New Jersey Department of Education acts to deter cheating on standardized tests
New Jersey Department of Education officials say the standardized-test cheating scandal leading to a major shake-up in the Atlanta public school system would probably never happen here because of stringent testing protocols.
“We take the security of our test scores and data very seriously. If something were to happen like Atlanta, we could deal with it quickly and move on,” state DOE spokesman Justin Barra said. (Rothschild, Gannett)
