Oklahoma board of Education Votes to Change Testing Window

Hofmeister

In an effort to provide more instruction time for state tests and keep students more engaged after taking them, the new-look state Board of Education on Thursday voted unanimously to open the annual testing window on or after April 20 and keep it open for 20 school days.

Currently, the window for testing students in grades three through eight opens on the first instructional day in April and closes at the end of the first week in May.

"We want our schools to be able to test as close as possible to the end of the school year," state schools Superintendent Joy Hofmeister told the board Thursday. "We want every day to count for students and this will facilitate that."
