Good morning, Dev Test County. Spring 2026 is officially testing season in Ohio, which means educators across the state are knee-deep in TIDE configurations, material delivery schedules, and the kind of acronym-heavy guidance that makes your eyes glaze over by the second paragraph. It's the annual ritual nobody loves but everyone depends on—those OST windows, OELPA surveys, and family report deadlines that quietly measure how our schools are actually doing.
Meanwhile, Ohio's legislature has been busy with policy moves tracked in the latest OSCPA roundup, and the DMV just rolled out updated test prep focusing heavily on school bus safety rules—because apparently stopping 20 feet from a stopped bus still needs reinforcing. Sometimes the most important updates are the least exciting ones.
