ANNAPOLIS — Montgomery County educators urged a Maryland Senate panel on Wednesday to approve a measure that would delay the implementation of a new teacher evaluation system, unless Maryland first adopted a new standardized test.

The bill would forbid the State Board of Education from implementing its Educator Evaluation System in the 2013-2014 school year unless the state moved away from the current Maryland School Assessment, or MSA, standardized test and to a new one that aligned with more rigorous national Common Core standards.
