With the reauthorization of ESEA as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) the requirement changed for the alternate assessment based on alternate academic achievement standards (e.g., Oregon's Extended Assessment): ESSA places a 1% cap on participation in the assessment.  It further states that "local educational agencies (districts) exceeding the 1% cap shall submit information to the State educational agency justifying the need to exceed such cap."

Districts projected to exceed the 1% cap can be found at Districts 1% participation rate by subject areas (ELA, Math, and Science) and eligibility codes<https://www.oregon.gov/ode/schools-and-districts/reportcards/reportcards/Documents/Extended_1Pct_DisabilityCodes.xlsx>. If you have not done so already, please submit the required Justification Form<https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/4984541f40d8493ab8ec02c54f6658c2> no later than 2.15.19.

For additional information and/or questions, contact Brad Lenhardt at Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us<mailto:Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us>
