“I am completely perplexed by the fact that we don’t yet have the full data set of students’ assessment results publicly available in New Jersey,” stated JerseyCAN Executive Director Paula White. “As the state, school districts, and families grapple with an unprecedented need for learning recovery throughout the state, we need to make sure information precedes interventions, not the other way around. For state and District resources to yield results, it is incumbent upon the New Jersey Department of Education to provide data transparency about statewide outcomes. Actual facts and data regarding children and students is needed – and we are not getting it from Governor Murphy’s New Jersey Department of Education. JerseyCAN has been leading the fight for transparency and I am grateful for the opportunity for our voice to be heard on Tuesday.”
