Education Commissioner Mike Morath told the Texas Board of Education that a computer glitch erased answers on about 14 220 STAAR tests taken by high school students including many in special education programs. Problems hindered testing in Austin Bryan and Arlington areas as ETS administers the exam under a $280 million contract. Morath warned a contract reconsideration if fixes aren’t in place by next month.
