A student enrolling in the District from

on a temporary basis. Then, if necessary, standardized tests will be
administered locally for use in subsequent reassignment.
The following
tests will be given to determine placement:

It may also be necessary at the middle
school and high school levels to utilize criterion-referenced tests for
academic placement in certain courses. It is recommended that the
criterion-referenced tests be administered by the department chairperson or
the appropriate curriculum consultant.
The test material for Woodcock-Johnson
Psycho-Educational Battery, Part II can be obtained from the special
education personnel in each building.
NOTE:
If original instructional placement exceeds that indicated by the
achievement test results, the pupil should be placed in accordance with the
test score.
