TitleUS Education Department Issues New Policy for Calculating Participation Rates Under No Child Left Behind
Body
In an effort to help states implement the No Child Left Behind Act , the U.S.
Department of Education recently announced new policies for calculating
participation rates -- the percentage of enrolled students who participate in an
assessment program. The announcement was made at the National School
Boards Association’s 64th annual conference in Orlando, Fla. States will be
able to average participation rates over a three-year period. In addition,
students who are unable to take the test during the testing and make-up
windows because of a unique, significant medical emergency will not count
against the school’s participation rate.
