[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This ruling seemed narrowly focused on the College Board’s inability to offer accommodations for testing this year[/quote]

Curious why they can't offer accommodations.[/quote]
Just a guess, but probably fall registration was a mess.  The problem with College Board's system is that the high schools hosting are essentially third parties and many of them cancelled because they couldn't (or more likely, couldn't be bothered to) figure out how to host the test under current social distance rules.  In California specifically, most schools are not open.  Where there's a will, there's a way, but apparently there isn't a will....  Naturally, there were accommodations testers among the many who couldn't register for a test this fall.

If the plaintiffs really wanted accommodations, they should have brought their action against the College Board.  Their failure to name College Board as a party speaks volumes about their true intention (get rid of standardized testing).  The disability/accommodations angle was merely convenient; without it, the ruling likely wouldn't have happened.[/quote]
