This year, Metro Nashville Public Schools will administer tests in-person between April 21 and May 14, since the state extended the time period districts can administer tests this spring from six to nine weeks. The fact that the state has made zero accommodations for virtual testing for this test knowing for months that this test would be offered and that tens of thousands of children are still virtual is simply insane, Nicole Provonchee, parent of two elementary students in Nashville, said in an email. So now, parents who have elected to hold their children out of school for a year will be asked to bring their children to school for four days of testing. The recourse for those parents who do not want to bring their child to school you simply skip the test.
