| IDEA |
In accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA; see What
is IDEA?) of 1997 and the No
Child Left Behind Act, all students with disabilities must
participate in state assessments. See more... |
| IEP |
The student's Individualized Education Program
(IEP; see Special
Education) states that the student must pass the HSPA in one
or more content areas in order to graduate. If the student does
not pass the specified content areas in eleventh grade (or age 18
if ungraded), the student will participate in the SRA in grade 12.
The IEP team may also determine that
the student does not have to take the HSPA a second or third time
while he or she is participating in the SRA. For instance, the team
may decide that taking the HSPA again would be detrimental to the
student. (N.J.A.C.
6A:14-4.11[a]4). |
| LEP |
Students of limited English proficiency (LEP)
may demonstrate that they have attained state minimum levels of proficiency
through completion of the SRA process in their native language.
They may also take the test in English with appropriate accommodations
and by meeting the English fluency standard of 530 on the Maculaitis
(MAC) II. |
