3 STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT GOALS A. Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment Program The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments consist of standardized tests in reading, mathematics and science which are given to students in grades 3 through 11. Grades 3, 4, 6 and 7 are assessed in reading and math. Grades 5 and 8 have assessments in reading, math, and science. Ninth grade students are assessed in a graduation-required assessment for diploma (GRAD) writing test. Grade 10 students receive a GRAD test in reading and a MCA II test for science proficiency. Tenth and eleventh grade students who do not pass the GRAD reading or math assessment will be given other opportunities to attempt to pass it according to rules set forth by the Minnesota Department of Education. The district will provide opportunities for remediation throughout the year. Students must attend six weeks or remediation prior to each retest. They are eligible to reassess every other month. After two retest opportunities, the district must develop a plan for remediation. Students are then required to participate in the district-prescribed remediation as written in Minnesota Statute 120B.30 (2009). Students who do not pass the GRAD writing assessment have an opportunity to retest the following fall and spring. They must attend six weeks of remediation before each retest. MCA II and MCA III tests serve two main purposes: 1. To document, or measure individual student achievement with regard to the Minnesota Standards. 2. To create a base of information in order to assist curriculum decisions at the school and district level. Principals, teachers, and other district administrators review test data to identify individual student needs when determining program adjustments. While these tests provide only a snapshot of student achievement, the district uses this information to the fullest extent possible. Student Achievement Goals are based on the MCA tests: To increase the percent of students scoring at or above grade level proficiency To decrease the percent of students not meeting or partially meeting proficiency To increase the grade level average scale scores Student Achievement Data The following data was derived from state reports on student achievement levels in reading, mathematics, writing, and science.

PURPOSE DISTRICT TESTING PLAN AND PROCEDURE (Note: The provisions of this policy substantially reflect statutory requirements) It is the purpose of this policy to set forth the school district s testing plan and procedure. II. III. GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY It is the policy of the school district to implement procedures for testing, test security, reporting, documentation, and notification to students and parents and student record keeping in accordance with Minnesota law. DUTIES OF DISTRICT TEST ADMINISTRATOR The school district test administrator shall be responsible for preparing and presenting annually to the school board for approval, and overseeing the publishing of, the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment administration plan. The school district test administrator shall file the plan with the Department of Education and deliver the plan to all households in the school district by October 15 of each year. The plan shall include, at the minimum, the following: A. The district graduation requirements; B. The number of opportunities a student shall have to retake Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) each year; C. The opportunities for remediation for a student who has not passed the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) graduation requirements. D. The process for requesting an additional testing opportunity and accommodations for a senior who has met all other graduation requirements but has not passed one or more MCA. E. The method to report breaches in test security procedures to the school district and the Department of Education. F. Procedures for meeting the needs of Limited English Proficient students, students who require an IEP or students who require Section 504 Accommodations. IV. GENERAL SECURITY INFORMATION Minnesota Assessments require the highest level of test security and accountability. Security of the test books, answer books/documents and accommodated materials must be maintained before, during and after the test administration. Testing personnel must have access to locked storage space for safekeeping upon receipt of test materials and until the materials have been returned to the testing company. Except for translators, only students will have the opportunity to examine any test item at any time during the testing period. Translations of the test directions or scripts into other languages need to be arranged through the District Assessment Coordinator.
7 No one may reproduce or copy any part of any test or script, whether written or in audio or flash format. Reproduction of secure test materials is as much a breach of security as failure to return the test materials and is also a violation of the Federal Copyright Act. Test Security A. Security Requirements. When administering tests the school district shall observe the following test security measures in addition to any requirements imposed by the Minnesota Department of Education. The District Assessment Coordinator must ensure that: 1. All testing personnel are trained before handling secure materials. 2. Non-disclosure Agreements are completed by all appropriate personnel. The School Principal must ensure that: 1. There are certified school personnel directly responsible for supervising any non-certified school personnel who have access to secure test materials; 2. The tests, testing materials, and answer sheets are nonpublic data un Minn. Stat.13.34; 3. No person views the contents of the test books before, during or after test administration unless specifically instructed to do so by the procedures outlined in the manuals; 4. All tests are administered in strict accordance with the instructions contained in the state Procedures Manual, District and School Assessment Coordinator Manual and Test Monitor directions; 5. No person reviews student responses during or after test administration without specific permission from the District Assessment Coordinator; 6. The school district shall report any violations of test security to the Department of Education. The Department shall receive reports of violations of test security from anyone with knowledge of such an incident. B. Security Violations. The Department of Education shall investigate any reported incidents of breaches in test security. The consequences of a violation of test security may include: 1. The invalidation of test scores if a violation is found to justify serious questions about the integrity of the results of the test administration; or 2. Other reasonable sanctions that are necessary to preserve the security and confidentiality of future tests and test administrations. V. SCHOOL DISTRICT REPORTING TO THE DEPARTMENT AND PUBLIC A. The school district shall report the information specified below to the Department annually by October 15 in a format to be determined by the Department. B. The school district shall prepare and disseminate annually by October 15 a public report of the information specified below through the official newspaper or the school website to all households in the school district.
