Who is responsible for the testing to determine satisfactory educational progress?
If the student has an IEP, and the IEP calls for a test that is not listed under OAR 581-021-0026, the school district will administer the test at no cost to the parent, as long as the child is participating in other IEP services. If a child has an IEP but the IEP states that the student will take one of the tests listed in OAR 581-021-0026, the parent is responsible for arranging for and paying for the test. If a child has a PDP, the parent is responsible for arranging for and paying for any tests or assessments. If a child with a disability does not have an IEP or a PDP, the parent must arrange for and pay for testing under OAR 581-021-0026. Some school districts or ESDs may make one or more tests listed in OAR 581-021-0026 available to parents at no cost or at a reduced cost.
