Gov. Chris Christie, shown last week in Lincoln Park, will speak to a group of first-grade students today in Cherry HillCHERRY HILL — A day after announcing he would reconsider some regulations on how schools measure success, Gov. Chris Christie plans to ask students about it.
Christie and acting Education Commissioner Chris Cerf will visit a Cherry Hill elementary school today to speak with first-graders.
On Monday, the governor sat down with school superintendents for an education round table to discuss ways to update how schools measure success and graduate more college-ready freshmen.
Christie says the current measures to determine classroom success — the federal No Child Left Behind and the state's Quality Single Accountability Continuum — both have flaws. He said the department would look to merge the two measures into a single accountability tool.
A task force is scheduled to produce its final report at the end of the year.
