California students and teachers are set to receive a one-year reprieve from standardized testing requirements that have become a routine part of school culture each spring.

In their place, schools could opt in to computer-based assessments aligned to new curriculum standards called Common Core.
The annual release of the data gathered from state assessments would be suspended as well.
The one-year lift on public reporting requirements comes after statewide declines on English and math STAR tests last school year.
