Jane,
I have a 19 year old student that was not tested in high school. I asked at the training and they said she couldn't be tested because her birthdate did not fall in the current range. My CSE chair thinks she needs to be tested. Could you clarify this for me?
Thanks, Marcy
Good Morning Jane and Marcy,
Thanks for your question regarding assessing the secondary level student. It is noted at the bottom of the 2008-09 NYSAA Birth Date Chart as follows:
*Note: NYSAA-eligible students who will be leaving school before they reach their eighteenth birthday must take the secondary-level NYSAA before they leave school (i.e., when they are 17 years old). NYSAA-eligible students with a birth date prior to September 1, 1990 who have not been assessed must be assessed in 2008-09 before they leave school.
Please forward any additional questions in this regard to Vickie Ferrara at the Department. Thank you all!
