The Tennessee Department of Education announced Thursday they will be accepting new bids for the state’s testing vendor after ongoing issues with Questar, the current administrator of the TNReady test.
The state will release a new request for proposal to find a vendor that can successfully administer the test in 2019-20 and beyond.
The department also announced they would adjust the pace of the state’s transition to online testing. In grades 3-8, TNReady testing will continue to be on paper for math and English.
And the state’s current contract with Questar will be amended to improve the testing experience for 2018-19.
The administration of the TNReady test in spring 2018 sparked a litany of issues, including website outages and a possible cyber attack.
The state signed the current contract with Questar in 2016 and began working with them during the 2016-17 school year.
