Refusal to Test - "Opt Out"
KIPP Texas Public Schools fully respects and acknowledges requests to have students opt out of STAAR testing; however, under state and federal laws, we are unable to honor this type of request because it is not an option offered in Texas.
Please reach out to your RAC anytime you receive a refusal to test!
All KTX Refusal to Test Documents can be found in the KTX Assessments Google Drive Folder I.

Guidance on Collecting Statements from Educators and Students:
Statements from educators involved in testing irregularities
Obtain separate, typed, signed, and dated statements from all individuals who were involved in or may have information about the incident.
Verify that each KTX Irregularity Report Form statement includes:
name, title, contact information, and role during testing;
how individual was responsible for or involved in incident;
description of incident from individual’s perspective;
individual’s signature; and
date the statement was signed.
Individuals implicated in a serious violation should be informed of the allegations being made and asked to respond directly to all accusations.
Statements from students involved in testing irregularities
Obtain statements from any students who were involved in or may have information about the incident.
Students' statements may be handwritten or recorded and transcribed.
If the district records a student’s statement (video or audio), written consent from the student’s parent must be obtained as required under the TEC §26.009.
Contact information for each student should be maintained at the local level in case TEA requests it for a hearing.
Cambium Missing/Withdrawn Students
Cambium Missing/Withdrawn Students
CTCs - please use this form to add missing students to Cambium, and to report students who need to be removed from Cambium. Student information should be verified in Skyward or from the Test Hound Student Demographics page (click on student list, click on demographics at the top). We are unable to add students with incomplete information.
Missing students - Students who need to be added will be added within 48 hours if all information is provided
Withdrawn students - students will not be withdrawn until the end of the testing window to clean up your data. Districts are able to transfer students to their new school in Cambium so leaving them there makes it easier for new districts to add them.
To track the progress of your request, please bookmark the Tracker.
Requests that are complete will be marked green.
Requests that require more information will be marked orange and CTCs will be tagged in a comment.
Requests that are not updated with missing information 48 hours after the request will be marked red and CTCs will need to resubmit.
Thank you! Please allow up to 48 hours to process your request. Please note - processing may be delayed during active testing windows.
Please reach out to your RAC if you have any questions.

Spring STAAR 2025
Spring STAAR 2025
Follow already established STAAR testing procedures and logistics. We’ve practiced this at least twice already during IAs!
Use the CTC STAAR Testing Checklist! , CTC STAAR Companion Guide, and SL STAAR Planning Guide
There is only one testing platform for STAAR and that platform is CAMBIUM!
Illuminate will not be used for STAAR (insert cheers of relief and happiness here)
Read the Manuals! Use the Manuals! You can print additional manuals from the DCCR.
Irregularities happen! Document them and call your RAC!
Making sure you follow accommodation procedures is extremely important for STAAR. If accommodations are not correct, the student’s test results and your campus’ accountability may be negatively affected.
When it comes to STAAR testing, if it is on the IEP/IAP/EB testing page - we must provide it, if it is not - we can’t provide it.
No manual changes to testhound everything has to come through official channels (ESPED/Ellevation).
You MUST meet IN-PERSON with your Special pops coordinators prior to testing. You must have signed documentation of this meeting.
You must upload and verify all testing attributes by the deadline.
All campus staff (you included) must complete the Test Security Training and sign the oath by EOD on 11/22!
No one can access STAAR materials without being trained and without signing the official TEA Oath. This includes parent volunteers, SSP volunteers, etc.
Knowingly allowing staff members to be involved in testing without completing TS training and the oath is a serious Irregularity.
CTCs are responsible for tracking Training/Oath completion for all grownups present on your campus.
You must train your staff on STAAR testing logistics, procedures, and test security. Use the Turnkey Training Slide Deck . Make a copy and update it for your campus.
You must follow the District Testing Dates plan for STAAR assigned testing dates.
Practice Tests are Required. Students must practice using the tools prior to testing.
When in doubt, reach out to your RAC! There are no “dumb” questions when it comes to testing! You’ve got this!
