Incidents & Irregularities

Starting with the 2025 school year, we have a new process for reporting incidents and irregularities. 

For incidents involving possible cheating:

• Contact Assessment to discuss the situation and determine if the incident qualifies as cheating.

• If it is determined that cheating occurred:

  • Note on the Score Code Form that the student's test will be 'O' coded due to cheating

  • You will be sent a form to fill out for TEA

For irregularities:

• Contact Assessment to determine if the incident needs to be reported and, if yes, whether it is a Procedural or Serious Irregularity.

• If a test needs to be 'O' coded, document on the Score Code Form with the reason.

• Collect signed statements from anyone involved (for Serious Irregularities, these need to be on school letterhead). These will need to be uploaded to your Documentation Google folder. These statements should:

  • Document everything that occurred before the incident was handed off to the CTC.

  • Include the person's title, role during testing, steps they took, and amount of time that lapsed during the incident.

  • Explain the event clearly enough that someone with no prior knowledge could follow from start to finish.

• You will be sent a fillable PDF to complete electronically based on type of irregularity:

  • Sample Procedural Irregularity Form

  • Sample Serious Irregularity Form

• Once the form is filled out, it will be sent to the campus Principal to sign. Both CTC and Principal will receive a copy of the completed form.
