Section 8:17-6.4 - Nondiscriminatory procedures

(a) Each practitioner conducting evaluations and assessments shall ensure nondiscrimination in the evaluation and assessment of children and their families and shall:

1. Administer tests and other evaluation materials and procedures in the primary language of the parents or by means of another mode of communication, unless it is clearly not feasible to do so, such as, for example, if using that language or other mode of communication would be so prohibitively costly as to make it unreasonable for the NJEIS to communicate with the family in that fashion;

2. Employ evaluation and assessment procedures and use materials that are not racially or culturally discriminatory; and

3. Not use any one single procedure as the sole criterion for determining a child's eligibility under 8:17-7.1.
