19. May 12, 2015 | Slide 19 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION New and Moved Students  New from another Smarter state?  No, we don’t have the scores and can’t get them  Contact old district to verify if a report can’t be produced  Data informs instruction; it’s not just for accountability  Err on the side of administering test if old district cannot provide them  “Partially Enrolled” Determined from CEDARS exit dates  If all testing and makeup testing is complete, and you lack the staff/tech resources to test, that student would ultimately not count against your district’s totals if they do not sit for the summative test  PE attempt/exemption is not new, but is different with the HUGE testing window – calculated from last day of school in CEDARS  NOT SAYING ‘if they enroll after X date, they don’t have to test’
