We, the undersigned, are appalled by the inability of the Ohio State Department of Education to properly communicate the instructions for ordering test Form A for the 2008 grade 3-8 Ohio Achievement Tests. This action put students who have special needs at great risk for not achieving their full potential. The delay in testing of students who need to use Form A have has been discriminatory because they have been separated from the general education population to have testing done at a later date. Students and school districts cannot be held accountable for circumstances beyond their control. The Ohio Department of Education, due to their error, should void the scores of all students who had to have testing delayed.
