Tennessee Commissioner of Education, Candace McQueen, sent all Directors of Schools an email reporting that a data attack had been reported with the Questar testing platform. Collierville schools and Houston High School in Germantown both reported that they were suspending testing for the day.
"To reiterate what we have shared earlier, there is absolutely no evidence that student data or information has been compromised", said Candice McQueen, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Education. "However, the attacker may take these same steps again, and Questar is actively working on further reinforcements, including notifying authorities", McQueen said. When a student is finished, please pause the test and note which student has used which machine, as students' tests are stored on that specific device. The software is created to save students' work, and if their session is disrupted they can start again later and submit answers, she says.
"New students will likely not be able to log-in this morning, but we anticipate they will be able to do so this afternoon. We will share an update when we know more".
In response to the testing fiasco, Rep. Matthew Hill, R-Jonesborough, said Tuesday afternoon that lawmakers passed an amended bill that stated student and teacher evaluations would not be affected by this year's TNReady test results. "We have little option other than to wait and hope the state gets these issues sorted out", Flanary said.
"We've told our schools that if you're able to keep going to keep going", said Superintendent Dorsey Hopson of Shelby County Schools.
"They were having problems logging in, they were getting kicked out", Smith said.

"We want to continue to persevere with online testing, but we understand that this has presented challenges to scheduling and morale". She and Hubbard said the testing schedule includes time for makeup exams if students miss a test but that taking the exam when scheduled is preferred.
"The issue has been resolved", Gast said. In addition, students in grades 3-8 began taking their end-of-year tests as well.
Frustration has mounted over TNReady since the 2015-16 school year when the spring test could not be administered online.
Technical difficulties TNReady has caused testing issues for students in some districts around the state since Monday. Now that has been pushed back another day. "That's a system that's not working for our children and our students, and that's unacceptable to me", Lamberth says.
Flanary said he feels bad for state education officials who are once again dealing with issues related to TNReady testing for the third straight year.
"We think those tests were submitted", he said.
