Section CXI-3101 - Special Education Needs

A. To accommodate the needs of Louisiana students in special education, the SBESE mandated that the Louisiana Statewide Norm-Referenced Testing Program (LSNRTP) provide the Louisiana Alternate Assessment-B (LAA-B) testing component, referred to as "out-of-level," beginning in spring 2000. Spring 2003 was the fourth and final year of the LAA-B testing program.

B. The program provided data for evaluating student, school, and district performance. Teachers and administrators could use test results to plan instructional programs.

C. Students enrolled in grades 3 through 8 who met specific criteria for LAA-B took the Complete Battery of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills at the appropriate level(s). LAA-B students in grade 9 or in the Options (PreGED/Skills) Program took either the Complete Battery of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills or the Complete Battery of the Iowa Tests of Educational Development at their functioning grade levels in reading, language, and/or mathematics. Some students may have taken both the ITBS and the ITED.

D. The LAA-B is no longer administered in Louisiana.
