Updated June 15 at 10:05 a.m. to reflect the new TEA deadline. 

The Texas Education Agency, or TEA, has pushed back the due date when STAAR results were scheduled to be reported to school districts for third-through-eighth graders. Eanes ISD said in a news release the original due date was June 15, but "due to ongoing issues and concerns with reporting by the test administrator, Educational Testing Services," the date has been moved to July 5. EISD will be closed July 4 through July 8 and will process the results and mail the student reports to parents as soon as possible, the release said. The release said EISD has not yet heard from ETS as to whether the testing vendor has found the test results, which EISD says the vendor misplaced. ETS spokesman Tom Ewing told Community Impact Newspaper June 9 the vendor did not lose the EISD STAAR test results and that they would be reported as scheduled.

Tom Ewing, a spokesman from Educational Testing Services, said in an email the state testing vendor did not lose the Eanes ISD STAAR tests, contrary to the email an EISD administrator sent parents earlier today. He said the test scores were properly received and will be reported as scheduled. "As millions of answer documents were returned to ETS for processing in May, ETS contacted the [Eanes] district with due diligence because our tracking system indicated we had not yet received their shipment," he said. Ewing said EISD confirmed it had sent the tests, and ETS informed the district testing coordinator the tests had been received and were being processed. "The report that tests were lost is not supported by the facts," he said. Claudia McWhorter, the school district's director of communication, released a statement Thursday afternoon in response to ETS. "While we have not received a message from ETS that they have our tests, we are certainly happy to hear that they do," she said.

The state vendor Educational Testing Services has lost Eanes ISD third-through-eighth grade students' State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR tests, according to the district. Bill Bechtol, the district's deputy superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment, said the district was told ETS had received the tests. He sent an email to EISD parents today letting them know ETS had misplaced the tests. "We have notified [the Texas Education Agency] and will work with them on any guidelines or recommendations, should ETS not be able to find the tests," Bechtol wrote in the email. He said ETS was "confident" it would be able to find and process the tests before the June 15 deadline imposed by the TEA.
