TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas education officials have extended this year’s student testing period because of persistent computer glitches with the state tests.

School districts statewide have reported technical problems with the March rollout of new state assessment tests. Delays have raised concerns that some schools would not complete the tests within the allotted time period.

The Wichita Eagle reports because of the computer problems, the schools now have until May 16 to complete state reading, math and science assessments. That’s two weeks more than originally planned,

The State Board of Education also decided earlier this month that all public schools in Kansas will remain accredited next year, regardless of how they perform on the tests.
