Statement On Testing

The computer system for MCA statewide testing provided by American Institutes for Research had technical issues on April 16th. Many students of Albert Lea Area Schools who were taking their tests were impacted at four different schools. We are currently awaiting resolution from the Minnesota Department of Education on how they plan to alleviate this situation for the future. Please encourage your student to continue with their best effort during the next test opportunity.
