Common use of State-Required Initial Year Assessments Clause in Contracts

State-Required Initial Year Assessments. Students attending the School in its initial year shall participate, at the Sponsor’s expense, in the statewide assessment program and in all state-required assessments. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1002.33(7)(a)(4), the School will participate in all state assessment programs in which Sponsor’s students enrolled in comparable grades/schools participate. To facilitate this participation, the Sponsor will provide consultation in the initial year by its applicable school district staff and those services/support activities, which are routinely provided to the Sponsor’s school district staff regarding implementation of state-required assessment activities (e.g., staff training, dissemination and collection of materials, monitoring, scoring, analysis, and summary reporting). The School may not assess incoming students in the initial year using the same assessment instrument that the Sponsor uses in the spring. A different norm-referenced assessment must be used for this purpose.
