This one comes from the New York Post, where they report on Lisa Nielsen, a high-ranking city Department of Education official
recently promoted to the newly created, six-figure position of “director
of digital literacy and citizenship.” The Post says that Ms. Nielsen is part of a Facebook group "Opt Out of State Standardized Tests". The Post continues to say that on Friday she recommended that teachers assign students who opt out of the testing to other
activities, including reading, writing and drawing or taking a snooze.
The Post story continues with other suggestions from Ms. Nielsen that can be done in place of testing, and you can find the entire Post article here. There have been instances of parents or other people being given high paying jobs at the DOE in order to silence them of their opposition to DOE policy. Usually once the publicity ends so does the position at the DOE.
