LAC 28:XI.4103. State Assessment Data [Formerly LAC 28:LXXXIII.4103]

A. For all data used from state assessments: 1. if there is evidence of irregular data or an Unusual Data Result (UDR), the LDE shall require the LEA to investigate. The LEA shall report the results of the investigation to the State Superintendent of Education; 2. if the State Superintendent of Education determines that the results of the investigation do not sufficiently explain the data, s/he shall designate a team to visit the school and conduct its own investigation: a. if the test data are determined to be inaccurate, invalid, and/or undocumented the LDE shall void or correct the data as described in §4101; 3. if the gains are validated by the visit, the school will be designated a "pacesetter" school. If the gains cannot be validated, the State Superintendent of Education may initiate further action.
