Director of Washington County, Tennessee Schools Ron Dykes is concerned that teachers and students have less time this year to prepare for the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program test.
"We missed 14 days, those days essentially compute to three weeks of lost instruction," Dykes said.
State education officials are allowing school systems who missed 20 days or more because of snow or the H1N1 virus to receive extra time before TCAP testing. Unicoi, Carter and Johnson Counties qualified, but Sullivan, Hawkins and Washington Counties did not.
"There's no question that it's an extra burden for us," said Dykes.
