If my district or campus exceeds either the 1% or 2% cap, does that mean we automatically fail to meet AYP? Will the district be penalized?
There are no penalties for exceeding the federal caps. The only potential impact of exceeding the federal caps is the resulting AYP status for the district or campus. The federal 1% and 2% caps only apply to the number of proficient or projected/on track for proficiency results that can be counted in the AYP performance calculations. If student test results in excess of either of the caps are counted as non-proficient, the district or campus may fail to meet the minimum performance standards for the given measure which would result in the district or campus not meeting AYP. However, it is possible for the district to exceed the federal cap limits on both assessments and still Meet AYP if overall student performance on the TAKS and TAKS (Accommodated) assessments is sufficiently higher than the AYP target (73% for reading/ELA and 67% for mathematics in 2010).
