Sorry for the delay in getting the final agreement language back to this group; after the Instruction Commission approved the language at their late spring quarter meeting we've been working on clarifying some of the technical language and re-formatting the document. We're still working on a more formal version for a broader release, but this version includes the final terms and language in the new agreement. As you can see in the "specific terms" section, for the coming academic year we could see students using both the old and the new agreement:


1)      Graduating high school seniors who took the assessment as juniors in spring 2017 are eligible to place via the old agreement;

2)      High school sophomores who took the assessment in spring 2018 could theoretically use the new agreement to place in a dual-credit course as juniors in 2018-19-we're not likely to see many of those students but it's possible.

We're still working with OSPI on the logistics of a system for accessing Smarter Balanced scores electronically; stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, it's up to colleges to determine the verification/evidence you need from students or schools to support the placement request. Please share with campus colleagues you think need to receive this update; FYI, I'm posting it to the "Testing Center" listserv.

Let me know if you have any questions-take care!
