>New Jersey narrows probe of erasures on standardized tests
State education officials will probe deeper into nine public schools after a preliminary investigation found higher-than-normal erasures in standardized tests.
Two schools in Newark and one each in Orange, Woodbridge, East Orange, Bloomfield, Bridgeton, Atlantic City and Union City will undergo further investigation by the Office of Fiscal Accountability, the state Department of Education’s investigative arm. (Mikle, Gannett)
