ISBE To Apply for Spring 2021 Assessment Waiver

The Illinois School Board of Education says it plans to apply for a waiver for Spring 2021 assessments in the state.  Schools were offered waivers last spring because schools began teaching remotely because of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The ISBE says more than a million students in the state continue with full-time remote learning.  Nearly 700 superintendents in Illinois have signed a letter urging federal education officials to allow testing waivers this spring.
