Chapter 5: Reporting Rules<br />

Physical Setting/Earth Science) must contract with a Level 1 data center to report assessment<br />

results in the <strong>SIRS</strong>. Nonpublic schools must coordinate with a Level 1 data center to ensure<br />

that the school is using an acceptable answer document that enables the school to report data<br />

in the <strong>SIRS</strong>.<br />

Public school districts are responsible for reporting assessment results for students with<br />

disabilities placed by the district CSE in approved private schools for students with disabilities.<br />

Schools with these students must contact the home school district to obtain the appropriate<br />

public school answer documents. Answer documents for these students must be returned to<br />

the home school district immediately after test administration and scoring.<br />

Though certain secondary-level examinations must be reported by nonpublic schools in<br />

the <strong>SIRS</strong>, all nonpublic schools must also submit aggregated results for secondary-level<br />

examinations using the paper Nonpublic Secondary Examination Report forms sent to<br />

nonpublic schools by the <strong>Department</strong> and available on the web at<br />

http://www.p<strong>12</strong>.nysed.gov/irs/nonpublic/. Results reported in the paper forms will be used for<br />

2010–11 nonpublic reports and mandated services. See the “Table of Reporting<br />

Responsibility for School-Age Students” and the “Table of Reporting Responsibility for<br />

Preschool-Age Students with Disabilities” in this chapter for more information on students<br />

placed in specific types of schools under unique circumstances.<br />

NYSAA- and NYSESLAT-Eligible Students<br />

Report both NYSAA and NYSESLAT results for students who are required to take both<br />

assessments. If both tests are reported, the NYSAA score will count in the accountability<br />

performance calculation.<br />

“Online” Schools<br />

Online schools are schools that offer courses, credits, and diplomas via the Internet. As<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>State</strong> does not currently register online schools, students who leave a <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> district or school to attend an online school should be exited using a dropout enrollment<br />

code.<br />

Racial/Ethnic Group Reporting Rules<br />

Beginning in 2010–11, all students must be reported as Hispanic/Latino or not<br />

Hispanic/Latino. In addition, all students must be reported with at least one race. Students who<br />

are reported as Hispanic/Latino, regardless of their race, will be counted as Hispanic or Latino<br />

for accountability and other reporting purposes. Students who are reported as not<br />

Hispanic/Latino will be counted in the race category in which they are reported for<br />

accountability. Non-Hispanic students who are reported with more than one race category will<br />

be reported as Multiracial for accountability.<br />

Students with Disabilities<br />

Generally, school districts have CSE or CPSE responsibility and accountability<br />

responsibility for students with disabilities who reside in their school district and either attend<br />

school in their school district or in a charter school or are placed by the CSE or CPSE in<br />

educational programs outside the school district (e.g., in Boards of Cooperative <strong>Education</strong>al<br />
