District officials, including Miss Baggett and her team, immediately sprang into action, working tirelessly on the phone to resolve the connectivity issues. Miss Sanders also reached out to the state department to determine the necessary steps to take, as a few students had already accessed the test while teachers were reading the instructions, exposing them to the writing prompt.
Despite the setbacks, there is hope for a resolution. Officials confirmed that there are designated windows of time for students to complete their tests, and some schools are scheduled to begin testing the following day. The incident highlights the critical nature of reliable internet access during important academic assessments and raises questions about contingency plans for future testing scenarios.
