Pause PARCC in Westford, MA
The Westford Community is asking the Westford School Committee and Superintendent Olsen to pause PARCC for the 2014-15 school year.
Why is this important?
The Westford Community has not had the chance to thoroughly discuss the new assessment test called PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career) which may, or may not be a replacement for MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System). As a result, we think it's best for Westford to hold off implementing PARCC for the 2014-2015 school year.
