The first collateral damage from the next testing window

Taken from an administrative email: “Questions have come up about using the computer labs during the MAP testing window. Unfortunately we will not be able to use the labs. Technology has advised us not to use it because of bandwidth.”

The testing window runs from April 13th to April 22nd. Readers need to understand that the school’s laptops are being assigned to students for testing. Rooms do not have computers for students with a few special education exceptions. My colleague down the hall has two desktops in addition to her own machine, for example. We just took the student body offline for 8 days, except for testing.
