POLICY

Each individualized education plan (IEP) of an eligible student shall include a statement of the student’s ability to participate in State and District-wide assessments. This statement must include any individual accommodations that are necessary to measure the academic achievement and functional performance of the student on the assessments. If the IEP Team determines that the student must take an alternate assessment, a statement must be included in the IEP documenting why the student cannot participate in the regular assessment and why the particular alternate assessment is appropriate for the student.

To the extent that individual accommodations are necessary for the student’s participation in classroom-based assessments, they shall also be noted in the IEP.
