STAAR testing smooth day after system failure

STAAR testing resumed at Central Texas school districts Wednesday, the day after a system failure prompted many Texas districts to delay or cancel testing. Temple Independent School District reported that testing at two campuses was held without interruptions in the online Educational Testing Service system. “Testing went smoothly today,” Lisa Adams, TISD’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, said Wednesday. “We had two campuses test today, and there were not any technical errors. However, tomorrow will be a better indicator of ETS ability to handle a greater load as we will have nine campuses testing.” On Tuesday, a system failure prevented districts from administering tests online. Students were often unable to log in to the test. If they could do so, slow response times hampered students.

Will masks still be required in the Killeen area?

The Texas governor announced on Tuesday that the statewide mask mandate will be coming down next week, but masks could still be required in some places at the local level. On Tuesday, Killeen city spokeswoman Hilary Shine said that the mask mandate made by Mayor Jose Segarra last year had been superseded by the governor’s order in July. “The Governor’s order removes the statewide mask requirement and capacity restrictions but allows for each business to determine what practices they wish to employ,” Shine said by email on Tuesday. Segarra said that at this point it will be mainly on a voluntary basis, for businesses and individuals.
