The testing company state officials have said that Twitter posts had been checked for potential security breaches related to the state’s PARCC testing.

State Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan (D-Middlesex) said yesterday that he has heard conflicting accounts about the monitoring, which led the state to warn at least two districts of possible test-security issues. He asked Pearson and the Christie administration to send representatives to the committee’s meeting on Thursday to further explain the process.[/quote]
