The Board requires that:

All students shall participate in the State-required tests, unless excluded by an I.E.P. or Section 504 plan. But parents can opt out of the WSAS.
In addition to the testing programs, the District Administrator shall develop administrative guidelines whereby a portfolio is developed and maintained for each student.
