Statewide login issue and district internet outage delay NYS ELA testing
Summary
Elementary Principal Michelle Bombard told the board that statewide login problems and a district-wide internet outage delayed NYS ELA testing; third- and fourth-graders began testing after the delay and Math testing is scheduled for next week.
Elementary Principal Michelle Bombard reported the district experienced testing disruptions tied first to a statewide login issue during the NYSSMA/ELA testing window and then to a district-wide internet outage caused by damage to a Spectrum fiber-optic cable.
"It was determined to be a State-wide issue so testing was delayed to Thursday. The district experienced a district-wide internet outage on Thursday, so testing was pushed back to this week. 3rd and 4th graders started ELA testing today and had a good first day," the minutes record. Bombard said teachers and students handled the delay "in stride." The Math assessment is scheduled for next week.
Administrators noted accommodations were provided and that UPK/K screenings and end-of-year events are being scheduled as testing and other activities proceed.
