Fifteen-Year-Old Students with Disabilities (IEP) in Elementary School Districts

The following policy for testing pertains to the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/14-6.01):

Fifteen-year-old students with disabilities who are enrolled in an elementary district become accountable to the high school district(according to school code). The high school district becomes financially responsible for the student. The high school district is also responsible for the educational program of the student. The law only pertains to elementary districts that feed into separate high school districts. It does not pertain to unit districts.

3


Fifteen-Year-Old Students with Disabilities (IEP) in Elementary School Districts

• Our legal team is working with both Assessments and Special Education to develop guidance that fulfills all statutory requirements, but also gives ultimately flexibility to the responsible IEP teams to determine the developmentally appropriate placement for students. Detailed guidance will be forthcoming.

• Even with this guidance, which will impact appropriate promotion to grade 9, a student takes the grade level assessment of their grade of enrollment.

4


First Year in U.S. School Status for English Learners (ELs)

• EL students with “First Year in U.S. School” status will take the math, ELA, and science (if applicable to the grade or course) assessments.

• The scores the students receive will not be used in the calculation for district and school accountability.

• Use of 50% extended time:– Although not an accommodation, EL students requiring 50% extended

time will need to be identified in SSD Online.

– Students will receive 50% extended time on each section of the SAT, PSAT 10, or PSAT 8/9. Students must be given the entire time and cannot go ahead in the test even if they are the only one testing.

– Schools can request 50% extended time for ELs in SSD Online starting January 16, 2019. Students will be automatically approved, and no supporting documentation is required. More information about the process for entering student information will be available this winter.

– EL students using 50% extended time can be tested with other students with accommodations testing with the same timing and test materials.
