** FAQ Q: I need to move a student from one school to another school in my corporation. Is that okay? A: While it is possible within TAS to move a student from one school to another school, please do not move students between schools. If a student moves from one school to another school within or outside of the corporation: 1) Flag the student record at the original school as “Will Not/Did Not Test”. 2) Create a new student record at the new school. 3) The new student record should be assigned to test sessions at the new school. 4) Consult with the IDOE if you are not sure if the student should test at the new school. ** FAQ Q: I need to move a student from one school to another school in my corporation.
