<div>ODE’s test contractor, American Institutes for Research (AIR), has determined that server issues are still impacting the OAKS Test Delivery System. ODE recommends that districts discontinue testing until further notice from ODE. Do not start any new tests
until notified by ODE.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As AIR works to address the remaining server issues, ODE will keep districts informed. ODE will send an update to the District Test Coordinator and OAKS Online listservs no later than 2:00 p.m. today, January 22nd. </div>

<div>Thank you for your patience.</div>
