The purpose of the Online Testing Technology Readiness Analysis reports is to provide an evaluation of the ability to participate public school districts to conduct district-wide online testing for their students in grades 3-8 starting in the spring of 2017. The results of these individual district technology analysis include a benchmark for the district and their schools in several key areas and an overall technology readiness score.
