Liberty School District Board Policy IL - Assessment Programs
According to Liberty School District Board Policy IL - Assessment Programs, all enrolled students are mandated to participate in all components of the Assessment Program. The district policy does not permit parents to opt their children out of state assessments or the associated reporting procedures.
Students who are enrolled and present on designated state testing days are expected to participate in the scheduled assessments. During these periods, the administration of state assessments constitutes the primary educational programming. It should be noted that absences on testing days will be officially recorded on student progress reports, grade cards, and/or permanent records.
At the secondary level, End-of-Course examinations are integrated into course grades. In the event a student misses a state assessment, a grade of zero will be entered into the gradebook for the corresponding assessment component.
