  1. 1% MI-AccessProficiency Cap Exception Application Window How to Submit Using the Secure Site

  2. The federal rules permit up to 1% of enrolled students in each grade assessed, who participated in an alternate assessment, and surpassed or attained the performance standard, to be counted as "proficient" for accountability purposes. • The 1% cap is computed by taking no more than one percent of the district headcount enrollment (Fall 2013 for grades 3-9 and Spring 2014 for grade 11) at the grade levels in which students are assessed by content area in the state assessment system • The federal rules require that school districts apply for state approval of an exception in cases where the district wishes to exceed the 1% cap at the district level. Districts that may exceed the 1% cap

  3. District has 1000 students enrolled in grades 3 through 8 and 11. • For the READING content area proficiency cap:1% of 1000 students = 10 studentsThis means 10 MI-Access students (that scored a performance level of 1 or 2) are able to count as proficient toward scorecard districtwide already, WITHOUT EXCEEDING THE 1% CAP. • District assesses 20 students in with MI-Access. • District applies and gets approved for 1% cap exception.APPLICATION WINDOW CURRENTLY OPEN UNTIL 5/2/14 AT 5:00 PM! • District appeals during preliminary scorecard window to have 1% cap exception applied. • If relevant, additional 1% is applied to set cap at 20 students. 1% cap = 10 students, additional 1% = 10 students for a total allowable of 20 students. Say, all 20 students are proficient on MI-Access: all 20 are now able to count as proficient on the scorecard. Example calculation of the 1% cap

  4. The list of districts with already approved applications from the previous two years can be found at the following link:http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/Current_Approved_1_Percent_Applications_388554_7.pdf • Districts with a 1% waiver expiration date listed as 9/1/2014 are already approved to be able to request the 1% cap exception during the appropriate preliminary scorecard window . These districts will need to apply during the next winter’s 1% cap exception application window to renew their 1% cap exception application. • Districts with currently approved applications on file and those who submit during the current window and are approved will STILL NEED to appeal during the appropriate preliminary scorecard window to have the 1% cap exception applied. Districts with already approved applications

  5.
