What is TEST SECURITY and CONFIDENTIAL INTEGRITY?

…and how important is it?

Violations expose teachers to the following penalties: *Placement of restrictions on the issuance, renewal, or holding of a Texas educator certificate, either

indefinitely or for a set term *Issuance of an inscribed or non-inscribed reprimand

*Suspension of a Texas educator certificate for a set term *Revocation/cancellation of a Texas educator certificate for a set term or permanently

TEST SECURITY is the ability to account for all secure test materials and confidential student information before, during, and after the test administration.

Tests must be kept in secure, limited-access, locked storage when not in use.

No one other than the test administrator may have access to the test.

Tests may not be left in your room if you are not present in the room.

Tests may not be given to a student to return or to move to a new location.

Collect and return to the CTC any charts, reference materials, and scratch paper or graph paper students have written on

All secure accommodation materials, provided to students taking STAAR Alt 2 must be collected and returned to the DTC for return to the vendor.

CONFIDENTIAL INTEGRITY is protecting the contents of each test booklet, answer document, online assessments, TELPAS holistically rated components, and STAAR Alternate performance documentation forms.

No one may view, reveal, or discuss the contents of the test booklet or online assessment before, during, OR AFTER test administration.

No one may answer verbally or nonverbally any question relating to the contents of the test before, during, OR AFTER administration.

No one may duplicate, print, record, write notes about, or capture by any electronic means any portion of a secure assessment instrument.

No one other than students may perform calculations, solve, or respond to test items.

No one may review or discuss student responses during or after the test administration, or instruct a student to change a response.

Individual student scores may not be revealed to any unauthorized person, including teachers who do not teach the student.

On test day, test administrators may not instruct students to use test strategies.

**A trained Test Administrator must be present at all times** **Test Administrators must ACTIVELY MONITOR student testing**

**Campus Administrators and Campus Coordinators must actively monitor all testing locations during the testing session**

**Each person participating in the testing program is directly responsible for reporting to the Principal and Campus Coordinator any violation of test security**

PINE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

CELL PHONE POLICY FOR STATE ASSESSMENT ADMINISTRATIONS

As required by TEA, each district must develop a Cell Phone Policy to ensure that the security and integrity of the testing program is maintained. The use of cell phones during testing is prohibited by TEA for the following reasons:

Receiving or making calls or text messages disrupts the testing environment by disturbing other students.

Receiving or making calls or text messages could compromise the integrity of the test.

The text-messaging and camera features of cell phones, smart watches and other electronic devices could be used to compromise the integrity of the test.

To ensure the security of the testing program, Pine Tree I.S.D. will use the following procedures during each state assessment administration: Campus Principals are ultimately responsible for ensuring that cell phones and smart watches are not available to students during a testing session on their campus. Campus Coordinators are responsible for training each Test Administrator in the campus procedures used to ensure cell phones, smart watches, and other electronic devices are not available to students during testing and are stored according to campus procedures. Test Administrators are responsible for ensuring that their personal cell phones are turned OFF and are not used during the testing session, and for ensuring that cell phones & smart watches are not available to students during testing sessions by using the following procedures:

Students who enter a testing room are responsible for storing their personal belongings, including backpacks, purses, notebooks, large coats or jackets, book bags, all electronic devices, phones, smart watches, etc.

Test Administrators must designate a location in the testing room for the storage of all student belongings including backpacks, purses, notebooks, large coats/jackets, book bags, etc., during the testing session; ideally, the location should be in the back of the room, or on shelves not accessible during testing. Under student desks is not acceptable.

Test Administrators are responsible for asking each student who enters the testing room if she/he has a cell phone, smart watch, or other electronic device on their person or in their personal belongings. Cell phones & smart watches must be stored by the TA during testing.

Test Administrators must read the following statement once all students have entered the testing room and are seated:

“Cell phones, iPads, tablets, smart watches, air pods, and all other electronic devices are not allowed during testing. If you have a cell phone or other electronic device in

your purse or back-pack, it must be turned off. If your cell phone rings during testing, it will be turned in to the office. If you have a cell phone or other electronic device on

your person during testing, your test may be invalidated.”

57

58

Student Cheating Policy Related to State Testing

If the district/campus determines that a student has been involved in

cheating on a state assessment, the student’s test MUST be invalidated by

the district.

The CTC should:

Report the incident to the DTC and principal immediately.

Investigate the incident and submit findings to the DTC.

Invalidate the student’s test by marking the score code “O” for “Other”

on the answer document or in the online system.

If it is determined that the TA contributed to the cheating (such as inadequate monitoring), follow the Test Irregularity Documentation Form and submit all required documents to the DTC by the deadline determined

Complete the Locally Determined Disciplinary Action form to report any disciplinary action taken against the student if applicable.

The DTC will be responsible for:

Collecting all investigative reports.

If it is determined that a staff member contributed to the incident, the DTC must determine whether it is a procedural or serious irregularity and report it to TEA following the reporting guidelines in the DCCM.

Report any disciplinary action taken against the student to TEA.

PINE TREE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

EMERGENCIES DURING ADMINISTRATION OF STATE ASSESSMENTS

The following information is provided as guidance to you in the event of an emergency during testing.

As with any crisis or emergency that occurs in the district, our first priority is student and

staff safety. Pine Tree ISD’s Emergency Response Plan should be followed should any emergency arise during testing.

Each Campus Test Plan should address the appropriate response by Test Administrators

for various emergencies that could arise during a test session, such as a tornado, fire, bomb threat, etc.

The following is guidance from TEA published in the Frequently Asked Questions

document:

“In the event of a schoolwide emergency that causes a disruption in testing, ensuring the safety of students is top priority. Students should leave their tests where they are and follow the school’s procedures. In the case of online administrations, testing staff should not instruct students to exit their test sessions. Test administrators must closely monitor their testing groups to make sure that no one discusses the test. Once the emergency has been resolved, the students should resume testing when instructed to do so.”

Campus Coordinators should report the event to the district testing coordinator.

o If the emergency prevents students from resuming testing, the district coordinator

should call TEA’s Student Assessment Division at 512-463-9536 for guidance on how to proceed.

o Once students are allowed to return to the classroom, TA’s should wait for guidance from the CTC/Principal prior to resuming the test session.

TA’s should be instructed during training that student safety is our first priority, and if possible, they should try to ensure the security of test materials while carrying out their first duty of escorting students to appropriate locations. They do not need to try to keep their test materials with them if they need to move to a new location or exit the building in a hurry. They should instruct students to leave their test materials on their desk/online tests open and if there is time, they should secure the test materials behind a locked classroom door.
