To reduce the strain on students, families, and educators during the Coronavirus outbreak, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Tuesday to waive the 2019-2020 statewide testing for California’s K-12 public school students. In a statement, Newsom said, “This time is stressful enough for students, families, and educators without the additional burden of annual testing” and that the “main focus is on supporting the mental and socioemotional health of students.” The executive order affects more than 6 million California students.
