If the student cannot continue testing, campus & district administration will determine whether the student’s answer document should be coded “S” score, or “O” other.

14. SCHOOL EMERGENCIES If a campus emergency takes place (example - Fire Alarm) you will leave the tests where they are and go quietly outside, following campus procedures for exiting the building. The safety of you and the students are a priority. The test administrator and all other personnel MUST closely monitor their testing groups to make sure that no one discusses the test. The student should resume testing once the building has been cleared for reentry.
