  11. Documenting Assessment on the AAR • In the TEA Correspondence: • July 15, 2008 • TO THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED: • RE: 2008 Minimum Standards for the Academic Achievement Record • (i) Required Exit Level Assessments (TEC §39 Subchapter B) • Follow the appropriate directions below: • (1) Enter the month and year the student passed each of the TAKS exit exams. The • entries must be supported in the student's permanent records by test labels or an • electronic data file from the test evaluation contractor. All test results must be • included on the AAR and must be furnished for each student transferring to • another school district, charter school, or private school (19 TAC §101.81). Use • the standard PEIMS numerical date format of MM/CC/YY. • (2) Enter the month and year the student completed alternate assessment • requirements as determined appropriate through ARD committee decision. • Alternate assessment requirements must be specified in the student’s IEP and • maintained with the student’s permanent records (19 TAC §101.7(c)). • This can also be found on page 90 of the General Information Bulletin. • Therefore if a special education student takes the TAKS or the TAKS Accommodated and the ARD states the student will be graduating under Option b)1 they must follow (i)(1) and the AAR must enter the month and year the student passed each of the TAKS exit exams. • If a special education student graduates under option (b)(2), (c) or (d) then the AAR must follow (i)(2) and enter the month and year the student completed the alternate assessment but they do not have to state passed or failed.
