SUBJECT:
2023-24 Parental Exclusion Forms
2023-24 parental exclusion forms have been released by the state. Elementary and secondary versions may be found attached with this memo. In addition, the forms may be found on the Evaluation, Research & Accountability website.
Parents must notify schools of their desire to opt their student out of a state-mandated assessment on an annual basis. Parental exclusions should be recorded on your school’s opt out log so that both school and district personnel have one source of truth for all parental exclusions. Schools are discouraged from keeping parental exclusion lists that are separate or different from the opt out log received from Evaluation, Research & Accountability.
Please direct questions about parental exclusions to Ben Jameson in Evaluation, Research & Accountability.
