Schools must take all practical steps to maintain the security of SSIDs by making sure they are not displayed publicly on items such as web sites, student body cards, or other posted documents or lists. To ensure that students receive the appropriate assessment, schools should keep track of which students must take the Braille format, receive restricted resources, or take OAKS Extended; To manage access and pace of testing opportunities, schools may restrict students in TIDE from accessing OAKS Online for specific test subjects. To avoid test expirations, schools should track which tests are close to expiration and ensure those students complete testing before the 45-day expiration period ends.
