Students in Austin ISD and across the state of Texas were scheduled to participate in the first day of State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness testing April 6. However, a statewide technology outage has led testing to be canceled or delayed for many.
According to AISD, the Texas Education Agency has confirmed that its Educational Testing System that administers the STAAR test is currently experiencing a statewide outage.
While some AISD students have been able to access the platform and will continue to take their test on campus today, the first day of testing has been postponed for those who were not able to log on. The district will contact the parents and guardians of those students who were not able to participate and will provide details about when they may be able to take the test in the future.
“We will continue to provide updates as we receive them from state testing authorities,” the district wrote online.
