STATE REQUIRED TESTING
The Charter School follows the rules and procedures for all State required testing (i.e. Physical Fitness Test or the “PFT”, Smarter Balanced Assessment or “SBA”, California English Language Development Test or “CELDT”, and the California Standards Test or “CSTs” for Science Only).
** A parent or guardian may annually submit to the Charter School a written request to excuse his or her child from any or all parts of any test provided pursuant to Education Code section 60640 for the school year. If a parent or guardian submits an exemption request after testing has begun, any test(s) completed before the request is submitted will be scored and the results reported to the parent or guardian and included in the pupil’s records.
