2623 - STUDENT ASSESSMENT AND ACADEMIC INTERVENTION SERVICES
All identified students with disabilities enrolled in classes operated by the Center shall be considered for participation in the State-mandated testing. The extent of the student’s participation shall be determined by the IEP Team. Accordingly, the student’s IEP shall require that s/he take:
| A. | the required assessments in the same manner as other students; | |
| B. | the required assessments with accommodations appropriate for his/her disability; or | |
| C. | an alternate assessment that has been approved by the State Department of Education. |
To the extent possible, and in accordance with law, a student with disabilities shall not be excused from taking a required assessment unless no reasonable accommodation can be made to enable the student to take the assessment.
The Superintendent shall implement administrative guidelines that comply with the State Department's regulations with regard to the administration of the State-mandated tests, including the reporting of results.
Program evaluations will be reviewed and updated every five (5) years. A schedule for such will be developed and implemented by the Superintendent.
This policy shall be reviewed and updated annually.
