The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires annually each district or community school to submit a justification when it anticipates testing more than 1.0 percent of students using the Alternate Assessment for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities (AASCD). Starting January 2024, the Department is transitioning the District Justification and Assurances process to the Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan (CCIP). Justification links will no longer be emailed to Superintendents. The due date for the Spring 2024 District Justification and Assurances is April 26, 2024.
