Sen. Chuck Schumer called on UPS to respond, saying it lost more than 100 AP exams.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded action from UPS after more than 100 AP exams never made it to the College Board for grading.
UPS lost 106 exams, taken by junior and senior students at Starpoint High School, earlier this week, according to Superintendent Sean Croft.
"We were quite shocked by that information," Croft told WKBW. "They told us that four of our boxes that we sent at different times had arrived, however this one was missing."
He added: "Without those exams, they will not fix a score to a student even though they went through the entire course and the exams were lost. That's a huge disappointment for our students."

Croft said the College Board proposed giving the impacted students a refund of $95 for the test or allowing them to retake the exam in August.
Nearly 50 students wrote a letter to Schumer asking him "to demand a meaningful effort from UPS and a much better explanation of what has happened."
"That box of exams is somewhere, and UPS must find it," the students wrote in the letter. "This isn't a missing package that can simply be replaced. This failure by UPS has real world consequences for all of us and they should act accordingly. "
