    The district provides the same level of support and assistance services to the charter schools as it provides to district schools. Charter schools will be responsible for ensuring all students are completing state assessments on the appropriate platforms as indicated by the state and/or assessment provider. It will be the charter school’s responsibility to retrieve students’ results through the system designated by the state and/or assessment provider.

    Charter school testing personnel are required to participate in all training events provided by the district pertaining to state assessments. Each school must appoint a Testing Coordinator (must be certified personnel) who will serve as the primary point of contact and responsible for the oversight of all testing programs to ensure that proper procedures and protocols are followed. 

    Charter schools are required to participate in all state assessment programs as   appropriate to their populations and follow district and state policies regarding test    administration procedures and security. Charter schools are responsible for the procurement of facilities and necessary computers and hardware required for testing.
