We are sending a huge thank you to those who are already entering devices in the Tech Readiness Tool!  Much to our delight, Chromebooks have been approved for state testing, but the Tech Readiness Tool uses Internet Explorer to pull the specifications from the machine.  Because Chromebooks only have the Chrome browser, we will have to manually enter the specifications, which you can find below.

Note:  When you first enter the Chromebooks, it will appear they are not acceptable devices.  It sometimes takes up to an hour to process.  After the processing time, the Chromebooks will move to acceptable devices.
