Ed Testing System Fails For Again
Oklahoma’s school testing system disrupted for second time in two years

Computerized testing was suspended Monday for 8,100 students after a contracted company’s technology failed to perform, frustrating students, parents and educators.
CTB/McGraw-Hill took responsibility for the company-wide interruption, which was resolved at 11 a.m.
“Although all systems are running as anticipated, we continue to provide enhanced network monitoring and management to ensure the health and stability of the McGraw-Hill Education network,” the company said in a statement.
It is up to the individual school districts whether to resume testing Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the state Education Department said. Spring testing began April 10 and runs through May 7, although the window could be extended.
