This executive position paper identifies preferred modes of communication for parents and guardians in a small New Jersey Public School District. Research was conducted because there has been an unprecedented test refusal initiative by parents and guardians of New Jersey Public School Students who are mandated to sit for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), the standardized assessment adopted by the State of New Jersey in 2014. The root of the initiative in relation to the specific exam is unknown. There have previously been no formally published reports regarding the preferred source of information about PARCC and how the information has impacted parents' choices about refusing mandatory standardized testing. Correlations, patterns, or trends between preferred information sources and the choice to refuse standardized testing are unknown. Results of the survey administered to the public school district in New Jersey indicated that the majority of respondents rely on educators to provide information regarding PARCC. The most utilized website, according to respondents, was the New Jersey Department of Education Website. All findings and suggestions for further research, as well as limitations of this study are asserted in this executive position paper. Seven appendices are included.
