The New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) is initiating a formal request to the U.S. Department of Education to waive federally required statewide assessment activities for the 2020-21 school year, and instead, allow PED to work with schools for an opt-in participation model. Prior to submitting a waiver, the PED seeks to gather statewide input from New Mexico stakeholders. The purpose of this communication is to solicit your feedback on the state’s plans to request a waiver for spring 2021 state summative assessments.
Please forward this to any members of our community. We appreciate your participation!
