This just happened to us in Spencer County Ky. And now its to late to retake and use the score for scholarships. They just informed us that the tests were lost 8 weeks after the fact.

North Escambia, Thank you for writing about this issue. It is great these poor students affected by this awful mistake have a voice. I can’t imagine if this had happened to my child. Perhaps your reporting will help solve the problem.

Who ever is found to be responsible should pay all 4 years college of these kids. Then they should pay them each one million dollars in punitive damages. This is an OUTRAGE. I am outraged at this I will take to social media outlets and tell every one of this. I demand JUSTICE.

Anyone who has had dealings with FedEx / Smartpost knows you do not use them. Do a search of FedEx Smartpost and you will find complaints such as FedEx packages going round and around and getting lost. When I order anything, I will ask if it is going to be shipped by FedEx. If they tell me yes, I will then cancel my order. I tracked one of my packages taking a bizarre trip around the U.S.. As always, it shows up 3 or 4 days late.

FedEx / Smartpost, for when you want it lost and need a tracking number for proof you shipped it.

What was the outcome in the previous occupancy listed? Were those missing tests ever located?

Can’t imagine the stress and disappointment this individual has had to experience, but if FedX picked the package up there should be a tracking number. A printout should be somewhere. These test are so important to young people, how can someone be so careless? Everyone wants to blame the other one. Hope they are Found.

Bright Futures are way too proud of their rules and regulations One can see by the ACT people that they have tried very hard to right the wrong but the fact remains that the word “sorry” is not an eraser. I hope the family will pursue a solution if their daughter did, in fact, qualify with a higher score and yes, Fed Ex can afford that year of college. All of them can take part in righting this wrong.

I truly hope that the original tests show up and that FDOE does the right thing and accepts the test scores from the test taken that date, if they show up. The unfortunate thing is that even if this student were allowed to take the test again there is no way of knowing that they would have scored the same. She could take it again and not do as well as she did in June, which would be extremely unfortunate.
