7. ELPA21 – Data Management
Districts may uncover students requiring to be tested are not currently identified for participation.
OSPI views CEDARS as the lone source for identifying students for applicable assessments.
OSPI strongly encourages districts to review, and revise as necessary, CEDARS information as the first effort in fixing student testing status.
If this approach will not address an immediate need to assess a student, under the student’s “Explicit Test Eligibility” view in TIDE, district administrators (or others delegated with like authority) should be able to select the appropriate assessment for the student.

8. ELPA21 – Data Management
ELPA21 and OSPI will be supporting domain exemptions for students with documented disabilities precluding testing in a domain as designed.
OSPI is pulling together guidance to support districts in identifying and flagging domain exemption decisions.
The agency understands the urgency to have this information and will work quickly to get the guidance released. More to follow!
OSPI will also need to design the protocols for reporting results for students with domain exemptions consistent with requirements (i.e., accounting for students) and expectations (e.g., what educators want to know of student’s skills and abilities).

11. ELPA21 Results and P-223 Reporting
Rules for claiming a student as Transitional Bilingual Instructional Program (TBIP) and Exited TBIP on the monthly P223:
• TBIP: Students who have been identified as eligible for TBIP services based on a placement test and who have received TBIP services on or before the monthly count day are reported as TBIP.
• Exited TBIP: Students who received a Level 4 on the Spring WELPA test or a Proficient score on the Spring 2016 ELPA21 test are counted each month they are enrolled for as Exited TBIP.
Eligibility is based on the student’s score on the annual spring test, not when the district receives these scores.
