SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Education has invalidated nearly 1,000 state assessment results due to testing irregularities in five districts and 12 schools. The invalidated tests represent less than 0.2% of the total tests administered. The MDE conducted an investigation and found instances of similar responses and wrong-to-right answer changes. The districts of Canton and Jackson identified 57 educators, administrators, and staff who violated test security rules and took disciplinary action against them. The MDE is now conducting further investigations in the Greenville, Hollandale, and Wilkinson school districts. Students and families affected by invalidated scores are urged to contact their school districts for accurate performance information. Schools with invalidated test scores may face downgraded accreditation status.
