3. Accommodations are available for eligible students if specified in the student’s IEP or 504 Plan.
4. Unlisted Resource(s) If an IEP team or Section 504 plan identifies and designates a resource not identified in the CAASPP matrix, the LEA CAASPP Coordinator or the CAASPP Test Site Coordinator may submit, on behalf of the child who has an IEP or Section 504 plan, a request through the Test Operations Management System (TOMS) to the CDE, prior to the administration of a CAASPP achievement test, to allow the use and approval of an Unlisted Resource. The LEA CAASPP Coordinator or the CAASPP Test Site Coordinator shall make the request on behalf of the LEA 10 business days prior to the child’s first day of CAASPP testing. The CDE shall respond to the request within four business days from the date of the electronic transmission. Unlisted Resources are not Universal Tools, Designated Supports, or Accommodations. Unlisted Resources means an instructional support that a child regularly uses in daily instruction and/or assessment that has not been previously identified as a universal tool, designated support, or accommodation. Because an Unlisted Resource has not been identified as a universal tool, designated support, or accommodation, it may or may not change the construction of the assessment. The use of an Unlisted Resource by a child will not be allowed if the CDE determines its use threatens the security of the test. In addition to determining whether the Unlisted Resource may be used, the CDE will determine whether the Unlisted Resource changes the construct being measured by the CAASPP achievement test. If the CDE determines the Unlisted Resource changes the construct being measured, the Unlisted Resource will not be approved but may still be used by the child and the child will receive an individual score report. The child will not be counted as participating in statewide testing, which will impact the accountability participation rate indicator for the Charter LEA. If the CDE determines the Unlisted Resource does not change the construct being measured, the Unlisted Resource will be approved, and the child will receive an individual score report and will be counted as participating in statewide testing. Refer to Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations § 853.8 for a list of non-embedded Unlisted Resources that have already been determined to change the construct being measured on the CAASPP achievement tests for English language arts (including the components for reading, writing, and listening), mathematics, science, and primary language and will not be approved. The use of an Unlisted Resource must be requested annually by the Charter LEA.
