Update: Gates Chili Central School District Pauses State Assessment Tests Due to Technical Issue

The Gates Chili Central School District has temporarily halted its state assessment tests due to a technical problem. The district is working to reschedule the tests once the computer-based system is back up and running. It is currently unclear if other districts are affected by this issue. Last year, a similar statewide online system failure occurred, leading to the rescheduling of standardized tests. The New York State Department of Education extended the testing window by one week as a result.
