Testing irregularity is defined under the administrative regulation to mean “any unexpected event that significantly disrupts the testing environment of two (2) or more students, including, but not limited to, the sounding of the fire alarm or a power outage.” Any “testing irregularity” that is not a testing security concern should be reported by using Form C275-E2: Testing Irregularity Report Form and submitted to the Office of Student Assessment. Any testing irregularity must, at a minimum, be locally documented and reported to the BTC, building Principal and CTC. Failure to comply with the protocol identified may constitute evidence of an integrity breach, which may result in an action under IC 20-28-5-7 for the suspension or revocation of a license. The Corporation Testing Coordinator (“CTC”) shall investigate any complaints on inappropriate testing practices or testing irregularities. The investigation will include, but not be limited to, the following:
A. a formal process by which all complaints are documented and can be tracked to resolution;
B. an initial inquiry to determine whether there is credible evidence that such an event occurred is to be conducted within one (1) school day of the receipt of the complaint;
C. protection of the integrity of any ongoing assessments, and protection of the integrity of the rights of individuals;
D. if IDOE requests an investigation, a report must be submitted to the IDOE Office of Student Assessment within ten (10) business days. This report must include all of the documents requested by IDOE and the CTC's determination of whether misconducted occurred, did not occur, or whether the allegations could not be substantiated. The CTC’s determination, however, shall not be binding on IDOE or any action that IDOE may take.
