ESSA Plan MDE’s final ESSA Plan has been submitted to the governor for signature 1% Cap on Assessment The revised law contains the following changes: The total number of students assessed using an alternate assessment may not exceed 1% of the total number of students in the state assessed in a subject. This is a huge change where the 1% cap was based on “proficient” scores, all scores count now. LEAs that exceed the 1% participation rate could require oversight and monitoring. Districts are encouraged to share, “Should My Student Take the Alternate Assessment” guide with IEP teams. Guide will be available on the MAASE Wiki

Seclusion/Restraint Guidelines Selection process ongoing Writing team will be 10-12 professionals representing multiple perspectives Various groups will be sought to obtain feedback and input i.e. SEAC, MAASE, Special Education Task Force, SBE Legislative Committee, etc. Final Guidelines should be released late summer 2017
