COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio lawmakers plan next week to amend an education bill to hold high school students harmless after a state biology test question had a wrong answer marked as correct.

State Sen. Andrew Brenner, a Delaware County Republican who chairs the Senate Education Committee, confirmed he was told there was an error. He said he wasn’t told the question or answer – correct or incorrect.

State law and administrative rules generally prohibit any disclosure of test questions to prevent cheating.

The question was on Ohio’s State Tests that students took last spring, Brenner said.

“For whatever reason, they had the wrong answer as the right answer, and the right answer as the wrong answer,” he said.
