Avoid Testing Invalidations
Test administrators should check the following before they begin screening to avoid unnecessary invalidations. All invalidations are reported to the Louisiana Department of Education and require a testing irregularity report. A screening may not be invalidated because the test administrator believes that the student should have performed better.
Is the student being screened under the correct Student Name in mCLASS?
Is the student being tested on the correct portion of the screener?
Does the TA have all of the accommodations allowed for the student prior to beginning the screening?
Are screening devices set up correctly prior to beginning the screening?
Is the screening environment free of distractions and interruptions?
Has the TA had sufficient practice on administration to be able to manage speed of student responses, provide direction to student for speaking loudly enough to be heard, practice on scrolling the page when needed?
Invalidating a student test
It is important to establish procedures to maintain a quiet testing environment throughout testing that is free of interruptions or distractions. Tests should not be invalidated/incomplete because of avoidable disruptions in the testing environment.
Only DTC can invalidate a test. The result is deleted, and the test administrator will need to administer the measure again to complete secure benchmark screening for the student. Any invalidations MUST have a testing irregularity form completed to send to LDOE.
Any test that has surpassed the 48 hour mark cannot be invalidated and would need to be requested by LDOE to Amplify for invalidation. (Amplify chat 4.30.24)

School Test Coordinator Information
There is no accountability code to excuse students from testing for parental opt-outs. There is no formal process for opting students out, but the LDOE recommends that parents be required to submit a refusal of permission to test their child in writing to the principal in advance of the testing window. Schools cannot refuse to allow students to attend school on testing days, and should provide instructional activities for students.

Inclusion in School Accountability
Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year (2026 SPS), the kindergarten through eighth grade assessment index will also include a measure of K-2 literacy and growth on student literacy. The data that will be used to develop a model for inclusion will come from the secure DIBELS 8th Louisiana end-of-year screeners administered statewide in mCLASS. The 2024 data will be used with data collected in 2025 to develop final K-2 student literacy measures recommended to BESE for inclusion in the 2026 SPS.
Screener Content
Students must complete all measures for a composite score to be calculated and reported to the department by the vendor. The content of the screener varies by grade. Gating, discontinuing, or exemptions for sections of the screener may not be used as part of the Louisiana K-3 screening system.
