TNReady is back again with online testing being phased-in this time.

Grace Tatter at Chalkbeat reports:

The Department of Education is staggering its transition to online testing — a lesson learned last year when most of the state tried to do it all at once and the online platform buckled on the first day. As a result, the department fired its testing company, derailing the state’s assessment program, and later hired  Questar as its new test maker.

Here are the districts opting to test high school students online this year:

• Alvin C. York Institute
• Bedford County
• Bledsoe County
• Blount County
• Bristol City
• Campbell County
• Cannon County
• Cheatham County
• Clay County
• Cocke County
• Coffee County
• Cumberland County
• Grundy County
• Hamilton County
• Hancock County
• Knox County
• Jackson-Madison County
• Moore County
• Morgan County
• Putnam County
• Scott County
• Sullivan County
• Trousdale County
• Washington County
• Williamson County
