Section XI-4509 - Assessment Index Calculations with Displaced Students for Limited Impact Schools [Formerly LAC 28:LXXXIII.4509]

A. When student mobility occurs prior to October 1 of a given academic year as a result of a disaster, the data collected during that academic year for calculating the assessment index (for use in the SPS) shall be evaluated in two ways:

1. as described in Chapters 3 and 4;

2. as described in Chapters 3 and 4, but excluding the assessment results of any student who entered the school using a "disaster" entry code during that academic year. The assessment index calculated when excluding the displaced students is called the alternate assessment index.

B. Letter grades shall be assigned and SPS reported using the lower of the two assessment indices, except:

1. when using the higher of the two prevents a school from being labeled academically unacceptable, the higher assessment index shall be used.

C. The lower of the two assessment indices shall be used the following academic year in the SPS for reporting and assigning letter grades, except:

1. when using the higher of the two prevents a school from being labeled academically unacceptable, the higher assessment index shall be used.

D. If large numbers of displaced students impact a school's performance due to intra-district transfers, the district may appeal during the established appeal/waiver period following the official fall release of accountability results.
