| CA | Signed into law 08/2012 | P-12 | Delays until Class of 2016 the implementation of alternative means for students with disabilites to demonstrate achievement of standards as required for high school exit exam (i.e., extends exemption of students with disabilities from exit exam requirement). Authorizes the state board, by regulation, to extend the July 1, 2015, date by up to one year. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1701-1750/ab_1705_bill_20120827_chaptered.pdf

| TX | Adopted 05/2012 | P-12 | From Texas Register: Repeals §101.3001 and §101.3003 and adopts new §§101.3011 and 101.3021-101.3024, concerning implementation of testing program.
Adopted new 101.3011, Implementation and Administration of Academic Content Area Assessment Instruments, retains provisions from repealed rule, §101.3001, for the implementation of the Texas Education Code (TEC), §39.023(a), (b), (c), (l), and any further testing required due to federal law. Also includes provisions that allow the continued use of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) in Grades 10 and 11 and provisions for making available certain assessments in an alternative form. Specifies that the implementation date for the 15% course grade requirement begins in the 2012-2013 school year.
Adopted new §101.3021, Required Participation in Academic Content Area Assessments and Course Grading, stipulates that a student first entering Grade 9 in the 2011-2012 school year or thereafter is required to meet the end-of-course (EOC) requirements in the TEC, §39.025. Districts are required to institute a policy where a result on the applicable EOC assessment accounts for 15% of a student's final course grade beginning in the 2012-2013 school year. Also addresses the following requirements:
--To receive a diploma, a student receiving high school course credit through credit by examination or by participating in a dual-credit course or distance-learning course must still meet the EOC assessment requirements for the student's high school graduation program.
--A student receiving course credit by participation in a dual-credit or distance-learning course, or through an advanced placement or International Baccalaureate course, is subject to the 15% course grade requirement beginning in the 2012-2013 school year.
--Students are not subject to the 15% course grade requirement if course credit is received through credit by examination. The 15% course grade requirement does not apply for certain eligible English language learners and students receiving special education services who take an alternate or modified form of an EOC assessment.
Also specifies those students who are not required to take certain EOC assessments due to completion of a course for high school credit prior to the 2011-2012 spring administration for a course for which an EOC assessment would normally apply.
Adopted new §101.3022, Assessment and Cumulative Score Requirements for the Minimum, Recommended, and Distinguished Achievement High School Programs, specifies the assessment and cumulative score requirements for the minimum high school program (MHSP), the recommended high school program (RHSP), and the distinguished achievement high school program (DAP). If a student on the MHSP is enrolled in a course that is not specified by the curriculum requirements as listed in 19 TAC Chapter 74 for the MHSP program, the student's score on the EOC assessment for that course may count toward the cumulative score requirement for the content area at the student's discretion. Students on the RHSP and DAP must take all 12 EOC assessments to receive a Texas diploma. Further, students on the RHSP must also achieve satisfactory performance on Algebra II and English III EOC assessments, and students on the DAP must achieve the advanced standard on Algebra II and English III EOC assessments. The standard in place when a student first takes an EOC assessment is the standard that will be maintained throughout the student's school career for that content area.
Adopted new §101.3023, Participation, Graduation Assessment, and Cumulative Score Requirements for Students Receiving Special Education Services, specifies:
--The admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee determines if a student receiving special education services will need to meet satisfactory performance on an EOC assessment and the cumulative score requirements for purposes of graduation. Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, all Grades 9-12 students with significant cognitive disabilities who are assessed with an alternate assessment as specified in the student's individualized education program (IEP) will be assessed using alternate versions of EOC assessments.
--A student receiving special education services and who is first enrolled in Grade 9 or below in the 2011-2012 school year will be administered a modified version of an EOC assessment instrument as required by the student's IEP.
--If a student receiving special education services is administered an alternate or modified form of an EOC assessment, the 15% course grade requirement of the TEC, §39.023(c), will not apply and a cumulative score will not be reported for alternative or modified assessments.
--If a student receiving special education services is enrolled in a course for which there is an EOC assessment but no corresponding modified or alternate version of that assessment, the student is not required to take an assessment for that course. However, if a student who is receiving special education services is administered a general education EOC assessment as listed in the TEC, §39.023(c), the 15% course grade requirement will apply beginning in the 2012-2013 school year and a cumulative score will be reported for the student.
Adopted new §101.3024, Assessment Requirements for Students First Enrolled in Grade 9 Prior to 2011-2012 School Year or First Enrolled in Grade 10 or Above in 2011-2012 School Year, retains provisions from repealed rule, §101.3003, to specify the assessment graduation requirements needed to achieve a Texas high school diploma. The new rule also specifies that the TAKS-Modified assessments will continue to be the assessment requirement for a student receiving special education services who is enrolled above Grade 9 in the 2011-2012 school year and for whom an IEP specifies that the student will take a modified version of an assessment.
