Assessment and Surveys:
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
As a condition of receiving federal funds, the District participates in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). To help ensure that the District has a representative sample of students taking the NAEP, which will allow the District to assess the quality and effectiveness of its programming on a national level, the District strongly encourages all eligible students to participate. However, student participation in NAEP is voluntary.
The District shall provide parents/guardians of eligible students with reasonable notice prior to the exam being administered. Parents/guardians wishing to opt their students out of the NAEP assessment must notify the district in writing at least three days prior to the exam date to ensure that the District can coordinate supervision and alternative activities for students who have opted out.
Parents/guardians will be notified of their right to remove their children from surveys prior to district participation in surveys.
The principal must approve all surveys intended to gather information from students before they are administered to students. Students’ participation in surveys is voluntary. Parents/guardians may restrict their child from participating in any survey.
