A. Students that meet the full academic year criteria, as described in §603 and as described in Paragraphs A.1-2 of this Section, shall be included in all subgroup performance score calculations:

1. student is a former English learner student for up to two years after no longer being considered an English language learner under state rules. These students will not count toward the minimum n for the EL subgroup;

If the district exceeds the 1.0 percent cap, the district shall request a waiver. The students exceeding the cap shall be assigned a 0 on the assessment and be considered non-proficient if:

i. the district fails to request the waiver; or

ii. if the district requests the waiver but it is determined by LDE that ineligible students were administered LEAP Connect;

b. when calculating the 1.0 percent cap for alternate assessment purposes, all decimals in results shall be rounded to the next highest whole number:

i. 1.0 percent of 628 students is 6.28 students. The 1.0 percent cap, in this instance, is 7 students.

2. Students participating in LEAP Connect shall be included in the students with disabilities subgroup.
