OLMSTED FALLS, Ohio — Students across Ohio might have been anticipating a state test on Wednesday they never got to take. The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce confirms its testing vendor had an outage this morning. That left teachers and administrators scrambling.

"I'm on a group text with many other curriculum directors, assistant superintendents from across our area, and it was one right after the other, 'Are you guys having problems? We can't get in, it's saying there's no test,'" said Kelli Cogan, assistant superintendent for Olmsted Falls City Schools. The only students in the district who could test are in 3rd grade. Their assessment is still administered by pencil and paper. By 4th grade, all testing is done on Chromebooks.

"When the principal came on, there were claps and cheers, but there were some kids I could see it on their faces that they were a little disappointed. Not that they are ready and want to take it, but I think they just wanted to get it over with," said Atkins.
