| (a) Each school district shall be responsible for administering
a pre- and post-assessment for each student assigned to the district's
disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) for a period of
90 school days or longer as required by the Texas Education Code (TEC), §37.0082.
Released state assessments for reading and mathematics for the appropriate
grade may be used. A school district may apply for approval of an
assessment that includes the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
for reading and mathematics for the student's assigned grade. The
commissioner of education will publish on the Texas Education Agency
(TEA) website a list of assessments approved for use in each school
year. A school district may contact TEA to obtain accommodated versions
of particular assessments.
(b) The grade level of an assessment shall be based
upon the academic grade completed prior to the student being assigned
to a DAEP if placement occurs in the fall or first semester of the
academic school year. If placement occurs in the spring or second
semester of the academic school year, the student shall be administered
an assessment based on the current grade level.
(c) Each school district shall provide an academic
report to the student's locally assigned campus, which shall include
the pre- and post-assessment results of the student's basic skills
in reading and mathematics, within 10 school days of the student completing
the post-assessment.
(d) Procedures for administering the pre- and post-assessment,
including appropriate accommodations as needed, shall be developed
and implemented in accordance with local school district policy.
(e) A student in the district's DAEP must also be assessed
under the requirements of the TEC, Chapter 39.
