  7. ELPA21 – Data Management • Districts may uncover students requiring to be tested are not currently identified for participation. • OSPI views CEDARS as the lone source for identifying students for applicable assessments. • OSPI strongly encourages districts to review, and revise as necessary, CEDARS information as the first effort in fixing student testing status. • If this approach will not address an immediate need to assess a student, under the student’s “Explicit Test Eligibility” view in TIDE, district administrators (or others delegated with like authority) should be able to select the appropriate assessment for the student.

  8. ELPA21 – Data Management • ELPA21 and OSPI will be supporting domain exemptions for students with documented disabilities precluding testing in a domain as designed. • OSPI is pulling together guidance to support districts in identifying and flagging domain exemption decisions. • The agency understands the urgency to have this information and will work quickly to get the guidance released. More to follow! • OSPI will also need to design the protocols for reporting results for students with domain exemptions consistent with requirements (i.e., accounting for students) and expectations (e.g., what educators want to know of student’s skills and abilities).
