Will TNReady testing resume this year? For some students, maybe not.
The President of Measurement, Inc. said yesterday that there was no guarantee his company would make the testing window.
The Memphis Daily News reports:
The president of a North Carolina-based testing company said Monday that he can’t guarantee all students in Tennessee will receive the test on time.
Measurement Inc. president and CEO Henry “Hank” Scherich said his company is working furiously to get the new TNReady materials to students.
“I wish I could promise them,” Scherich said. He added they were doing everything humanly possible to get the tests to the students on time.
All of the students have at least some of the testing materials, he said, but the company has found itself scrambling to print and ship 5 million test booklets for Tennessee.
This follows last week’s that a Friday deadline would be missed.
That event caused some lawmakers to call for this year’s testing to be cancelled. The Department of Education has still not agreed to that solution.
