32. Testing Status Update
DLM is experiencing a network outage affecting KITE Client, Educator Portal, and phone and services to the KITE Service Desk.
An update will be provided around noon CT Wednesday regarding the amount of Educator Portal and KITE functionality which will be available in the short term.

33. DLM Updates Do Not Use a Local Caching Server (LCS)
A Local Caching Server should not be used for DLM testing.
When students complete tests on a LCS, the KITE system assigns the next testlet at a lower linkage level than may be appropriate for the student.
Students who take DLM tests using a standard internet connection will not encounter this problem. If you are unsure as to whether or not you are using an LCS, please contact your local IT staff or the Technical Liaison for your district. (The KITE Service Desk will not have access to this information).
Do not contact the DLM HELP DESK for issues that can be looked up in Educator Portal or the Data Steward Manual. This is creating long wait times on calls due to large volume.
