USE OF TELECOMMUNICATION

OR RECORDING DEVICES

DURING STATE-MANDATED TESTS

Parents and students need to be reminded of the new, stronger state-mandated policy regarding the inappropriate student use of any telecommunication or recording devices during state testing days. Use of a telecommunication or recording device during state testing could result in the invalidation of the student's test score and shall result in disciplinary consequences. The disciplinary consequence(s) shall be a minimum of one day in-school-suspension up to placement in DAEP. The campus administration will investigate all reports of the inappropriate use of these devices prior to taking any action regarding student test scores.

Because of the importance of this rule, students are strongly advised to leave these devices at home on all state-mandated test days. However, student may continue to bring cell phones and other approved devices to school but will be asked to remove them from their pockets, clothing, and purses/backpacks and turn them into the test administrator at the beginning of each test administration fro keeping during the entire session.
