MADISON - Wisconsin students will take a new kind of standardized test next month.
The online test is expected to be more rigorous than the traditional pencil-and-paper exam it's replacing. But a technical glitch means school districts will get a scaled back version instead of a more complex system that isn't working properly.
As a result, the Department of Public Instruction says, it won't pay the full $11.1 million cost and it will negotiate a new price with the test vendor and creators. The state has paid about $1.2 million so far.
