La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § CXI-2901

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section CXI-2901 - General Provisions

A. The "Old" GEE measures curricula-based proficiencies in language arts, mathematics, written composition, science, and social studies. The first statewide administration of the GEE was in the spring of 1989, and the last statewide administration was in the summer of 2003. The testing program then became the responsibility of the school districts, with the tests to be administered by the district test coordinators.

B. District test coordinators have received from the LDE a CD containing the tests, answer folders, scoring keys, and conversion tables. Copies of braille and large-print tests may be requested from the LDE, Division of Student Standards and Assessments, Assessment Administration Section.

C. The GEE tests are to be administered by the district test coordinators each year in October and April, as indicated on the official statewide testing schedule, to former high school students who have earned Carnegie units but still need to pass the GEE to earn a high school diploma. Students are required to take only those parts of the GEE in which they did not attain the required performance standards.

D. All students who were enrolled in tenth grade during the spring of 1989 through the spring of 2000 can be administered the test twice a year. There is no age limit for students who request a retest with GEE, nor is there a limit on the number of times the student may retake the test.

E. If the student was issued a GED and later passes the GEE, the student may surrender the GED diploma and be issued a standard high school diploma.
