Minnesota Firm to Pay Utah State Board of Education $3.3M After Tech Issues Botched Student Testing
“A Minnesota company will pay the Utah State Board of Education more than $3.3 million to settle claims stemming from technical issues that plagued the administration of statewide RISE testing of students in grades 3 through 8 in spring 2019. The settlement with Questar Assessment, Inc. announced,” reports Marjorie Cortez in Deseret News.
“A statement from the board issued Friday said in part: The parties had been involved in a lawsuit which included claims by Questar against the board and the board’s counterclaims against Questar. The parties, however, were able to resolve the case in its entirety without the need for further protracted litigation. The board was very pleased.”
