The New Salem/Wendell School Committee unanimously passed a strongly-worded resolution, supporting and encouraging parents to opt their children out of PARCC tests this spring.

The resolution, passed on March 10, not only encourages parents to opt their children out of the state standardized test, it also encourages teachers and staff members to let parents know they have the choice of opting out. With this goal in mind, the district is holding a community meeting on March 28 to give parents a forum at which they can learn more and ask questions.
