Section LXXXIII-1107 - Unknown School and District Performance Due to Nonparticipation in State Assessments (2014-2015 Only)

A. For the 2014-2015 school year only, if the number of nonparticipants (see §4101. B of this bulletin) in grades 3 to 8 English language arts and mathematics is greater than 10 percent of all testers for that school, then the LDE shall carry forward the 2013-2014 school performance score and letter grade of said school as the 2014-2015 annual school performance score and letter grade, and shall clearly note the use of the 2013-2014 result, due to nonparticipation, on the annual public report card.

1. If a school meets the criteria outlined in Subsection A of this Section but did not have a letter grade or SPS from the year prior, then a letter grade of "U" (unknown) shall be awarded for the 2014-2015 school year.

B. For the 2014-2015 school year only, if the number of nonparticipants (see §4101. B of this bulletin) in grades 3 to 8 English language arts and mathematics is less than or equal to 10 percent of all testers for that school, then the LDE shall include in the calculation of the school or district performance score results from the 2013-2014 Louisiana state assessments in English language arts or mathematics for such students, where available. Where no such 2013-2014 English language arts and/or mathematics results are available for nonparticipants, nonparticipation shall be addressed by using the average assessment index points earned for the specific school, grade level and subject. For students with partial scores in 2014-2015, the LDE shall use the higher of the students two results, 2013-2014 or 2014-2015; if students with partial scores do not have a score from 2013-2014, then the LDE shall use either the 2014-2015 partial score or the average 2014-2015 assessment index points earned for the specific school, grade level and subject, whichever is higher.
