General Rules for Ordering Do NOT over-order  Districts are sent 5% overage  Schools are sent 10% overage Be realistic with quantities  Especially large print, braille –These materials are expensive!  Mobile populations (county offices) –Average prior-year orders, then use “Supplemental Order” process if necessary October STAR Order Management || Slide 10

California Modified Assessment Who Takes the CMA? CMA participation is an IEP team decision based on:  Previous participation in the CSTs or CAPA  Progress based on multiple measures and objective evidence (Previous performance on the CMA may be used as objective evidence to document academic achievement within the year covered by the student's IEP)  Response to appropriate grade-level instruction  Not precluded from attempting to complete requirements for a regular high school diploma  Parents are informed that achievement will be measured based on modified achievement standards See the complete CMA participation criteria at October STAR Order Management || Slide 11

California Modified Assessment Who Takes the CMA? (cont.) Reminders:  The IEP team must annually decide whether the student takes the CMA. The IEP team may continue to designate the CMA for a student who previously scored proficient or advanced if the team determines that the student still meets the SBE-adopted criteria.  Students may take the CMA for some subjects and CST for other subjects  Students may NOT take a combination of CAPA and CMA. October STAR Order Management || Slide 12

California Alternate Performance Assessment Who Takes the CAPA? Student must have an IEP. Student’s IEP must specify CAPA and whether the student should take the grade-assigned CAPA level or CAPA Level I. Note: Student counts by CAPA level are not necessary during the ordering process.

In Conclusion October STAR Order Management || Slide 78

Excessive Materials Ordered Charges 90% of the value of materials ordered minus value of materials used Be careful ordering!  Do not over-order  Large-print and braille materials are very expensive No excessive order charges for EAP Essay test books ETS will invoice approximately December 2012 October STAR Order Management || Slide 79

Excessive Materials Ordered Charges Value of materials ordered ($x)  Does not include overages  Order quantities will be adjusted based on number of Pre-ID records Value of materials used ($y) If (x-y) ≤ 10%(x) then no charges will apply If (x-y) > 10%(x) then charges will apply October STAR Order Management || Slide 80

Excessive Materials Ordered Charges Example 1 Value of materials ordered = $5,000 Value of materials used = $4,600 Difference between ordered and used = $400 10% of materials ordered = $500 Difference ($400) is less than 10% of materials ordered ($500)  No charges will apply October STAR Order Management || Slide 81

Excessive Materials Ordered Charges Example 2 Value of materials ordered = $5,000 Value of materials used = $4,100 Difference between ordered and used = $900 10% of materials ordered = $500 Difference ($900) is greater than 10% of materials ordered ($500)  Charge will apply  Charge will be $900 – $500 = $400 October STAR Order Management || Slide 82
