INDIVIDUAL EMERGENCIES
Occasionally a student may need to leave for a brief time. No testing
material may be taken from the testing room. If student returns the Campus Testing Coordinator, and test administrator involved will determine
whether confidentiality has been maintained and if the student should
continue testing. If the student cannot continue testing, campus & district
administration will determine whether the student’s answer document should
be coded “S” score, or “O” other.
SCHOOL EMERGENCIES
If a campus emergency takes place (example - Fire Alarm) you will leave
the test where they are and go quietly outside, following campus procedures
for exiting the building. The safety of you and the students are a
priority. The test administrator and all other personnel MUST closely
monitor their testing groups to make sure that no one discusses the test. The student should resume testing
once the building has been cleared for reentry.
