All suspected incidences of testing irregularities should be reported immediately to the Campus Testing Coordinator, who will submit reports to the District Testing Coordinator.
If a district determines that a student has been involved in an attempt to cheat on a state assessment, the district is required to invalidate the student’s test. Additional disciplinary action may be taken at the local level in accordance with district policy. Any locally determined disciplinary actions stemming from the cheating must be submitted to TEA. Submission of a separate online incident report form will be necessary ONLY if the district determines that adult testing personnel contributed to, caused, or did not detect the cheating due to inadequate monitoring.
