<p class="cs2654ae3a"><span class="cse8ac24f01"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">AIR notified and assured the Ohio Department of Education that it resolved the login system issue and tested it to confirm the fix. Schools should plan to resume testing Thursday.
To the extent possible, we’re encouraging schools to complete their English language arts testing within the original window. However, for those schools that are unable to do so,
