Section LXXXIII-4527 - Disaster Considerations for the School and District Subgroup ComponentA.1. Schools and districts shall receive a one year exclusion from the Subgroup Component in accountability if they: a. reside within the boundaries of parishes declared natural disaster areas by the President of the United States; andb. were closed due to the declared disaster for 18 consecutive school days.2. Any school eligible for this exclusion that does pass the Subgroup Component shall be considered as passing the Subgroup Component.B. For the subgroup component and for all schools not excluded in Subsection A (above), displaced students shall comprise a separate subgroup and be excluded from all other subgroups. 1. The displaced students subgroup shall be evaluated for participation, and any school or district that did not test at least 95.0 percent of these students in ELA and math will fail the subgroup component.2. The displaced students subgroup test results shall be reported on all appropriate subgroup component reports; but: a. schools will not be classified as failing the subgroup component as a result of the academic performance of the displaced students subgroup.3. Due to the one year lag in attendance and dropout/graduation data, and as required by the U.S. Department of Education, the displaced students subgroup attendance and dropout/graduation data shall be used in the appropriate subgroups, not as displaced students. District should make extra effort during the clean-up period to verify that any exit and attendance data is accurate.4. All students in the displaced students subgroup that did not score proficient in ELA and/or math at the spring test administration must receive remediation in the following academic year.5. The displaced students shall not be considered a separate subgroup the following academic year.La. Admin. Code tit. 28, § LXXXIII-4527
