Identified: 09/27/26; Resolved: TBD; ETS is experiencing processing delays. Students uploaded to or updated in CALPADS on or after 9/25/26 will not be available in TOMS or the test delivery system (TDS) on 9/30/26. Student test assignments, test settings, user role updates, and demographics changes will also not be visible in the TDS on 9/30/26. Resolution: ETS is working on correcting this issue. Identified: 07/25/25; Resolved: TBD; The California Educator Reporting System (CERS), Custom Aggregate Reports for high school mathematics are displaying “NA” for the Target description. In this case, the NA stands for “Not Available” meaning the data is not available to render in CERS. Resolution: Smarter Balanced is working towards a solution that will make these descriptions available in CERS.

Students may be experiencing an issue with a recent ChromeOS LTS version 144.0.7559.257 that prevents Core5, PowerUp, and Lexia English from operating properly on affected devices. The recommended resolution is a minor update to ChromeOS version 144.0.7559.258 or a later version. This update includes a fix that has resolved the issue for devices that have been updated.
What happened? Between 10:03 UTC and 15:58 UTC on 29 September 2026, a platform issue resulted in impact to Azure OpenAI Service, Foundry Agent Service, Foundry Models, and Cognitive Services in the Sweden Central region. Impacted customers experienced intermittent request failures, increased latency, and HTTP 5XX errors when submitting requests to affected models and data-plane APIs hosted in this region. What do we know so far? A backend service that is used to retrieve service information and resource metadata when processing requests in the Sweden Central region experienced timeouts when reading from its dependent database and caching layers. Instances for this backend service experienced increased utilization reaching service thresholds, which caused them to become unhealthy and restart repeatedly. An automated health check then triggered additional restarts, further reducing the number of healthy instances available to process requests. As a result, requests that depended on this service were delayed or failed intermittently. We have identified that an internal system process generated an increase in the overall amount of requests for the backend service which reached thresholds when calling the aforementioned database and caching layer. How did we respond? What happens next?
A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.
