| (3) If the current year's EPP candidate group, aggregated
or disaggregated by demographic group, contained between one and 10
individuals, that group performance shall be combined with the group
performance from the next most recent prior year subsequent to the
2020-2021 academic year for which there was at least one individual,
and if the two-year cumulated group contains more than 10 individuals,
then the two-year cumulated group performance must be measured against
the standards in the current year. The two-year cumulated group shall
not include group performance from years prior to the 2021-2022 academic
year.
(4) If the two-year cumulated EPP candidate group described
in subsection (c)(3) of this section, aggregated or disaggregated
by demographic group, contains between one and 10 individuals, then
the two-year cumulated group performance shall be combined with the
next most recent group performance subsequent to the 2020-2021 academic
year for which there was at least one individual. The three-year cumulated
group performance must be measured against the standards in the current
year, regardless of how small the cumulated number of group members
may be. When evaluating a three-year cumulated group of fewer than
10 individuals, the candidate group will be measured against the performance
standard of the current year, or a performance standard of up to one
candidate failing to meet the requirement, whichever is more favorable.
The three-year cumulated group performance shall not include group
performance from years prior to the 2021-2022 academic year.
(5) In any reporting year in which the EPP candidate
group, aggregated or disaggregated by demographic group, does not
meet the necessary number of individuals needed to measure against
performance standards for that year, for all indicators, the accreditation
status will continue from the prior year. Any sanction assigned as
a result of an accredited-warned or accredited-probation status in
a prior year will continue if that candidate group has not met performance
standards since being assigned accredited-warned or accredited-probation
status. If an EPP has a status of Accredited-Probation carried over
as a result of this subsection, the year in which the EPP has the
carried over status will not count as a consecutively measured year
for the purpose of subsection (b)(5)(A) of this section. The SBEC
may modify the sanction as the SBEC deems necessary based on subsequent
performance, even though that performance is not measured against
performance standards for a rating.
