Section XI-1905 - Inclusion of Students in Subgroup Performance

A. Students that meet the full academic year criteria, in accordance with this Section and §1903 of this Part shall be included in all subgroup performance score calculations.

1. A student that is a former English learner student for up to two years after no longer being considered an English language learner under state rules will not count toward the minimum n size for the EL subgroup.

2. A student that was previously identified as having a disability, but has exited IEP status within the past two years, will not count toward the minimum n size for the students with disabilities subgroup.

3. The LDOE shall, as appropriate, identify additional student subgroups for which to publish data regarding student performance beyond subgroups required by federal law, including, but not limited to, Section 504 students.

B. Calculating the school performance score shall be determined as follows:

1. The alternate academic achievement standards for students participating in LEAP Connect will be used, provided that the percentage of students assessed using the LEAP Connect at the district level does not exceed 1.0 percent of all students in the grades assessed.

2. If the district exceeds the 1.0 percent cap, the district shall request a waiver. The students exceeding the cap shall be assigned a 0 on the assessment and be considered non-proficient if the district fails to request the waiver or if the requested waiver is denied due to the LDOE determination that ineligible students were administered LEAP Connect.

3. When calculating the 1.0 percent cap for alternate assessment purposes, all decimals in results shall be rounded to the next highest whole number.

C. Students participating in LEAP Connect shall be included in the students with disabilities subgroup.
