The Commissioner of Education announced today that the state testing calendar will be adjusted to ensure that no Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills exams are given on the March 4 primary election day. The change will help provide a quiet and secure testing environment for students, while maintaining the long-standing tradition of using schools as polling places.
