School-imposed test windows for the OAKS Online Science and Social Sciences assessments must: * Begin no later than the first school day in April; * End no later than the end date for the statewide OAKS Online test window identified in the current year's Test Schedule; and * Last for at least four calendar weeks. Please let us know by the end of the day tomorrow, Wednesday September 17, 2014 if you have any concerns about this change.

The same seems likely for any district that decides to pursue any Social Science testing.
