As a result of a statewide technical issue with the New York State computer-based testing platform, the Buffalo Public Schools will be rescheduling its grades 3–8 state ELA testing scheduled for today for a later date. Once available, BPS will share the new testing dates with those students and families that have been affected. We appreciate the continued support and understanding of our students, staff, and families.
