The District School Board of Niagara has decided not to conduct EQAO tests in math for grade nine students.
Yesterday, Education Minister Stephen Lecce said school boards will have to make individual decisions on whether to proceed with next week's Grade 9 standardized test in math.
Public high school teachers in Ontario have been on a work-to-rule campaign since November that includes not preparing students for that test.
The DSBN tells CKTB the test will now be conducted in June, instead of next week.
Boards were set to start administering the test on Monday, but given the job action, Lecce says boards will have to decide whether to proceed or delay the test to June.
He says the test provides valuable information to students, families, and the province about how students are performing in math.
