ACT ROSTERS AVAILABLE IN SDRR
ACT Rosters will open in the Student Data Review and Rosters (SDRR) application at 9 a.m. ET on March 13, and will close for new tickets at 5 p.m. ET on April 17. Please note that the ACT roster window will not include 100 day accountability. Accountability change requests can be submitted during spring rosters later in April.
For this SDRR window, school and district staff can add students to the roster, annotate and delete students, mark that accommodations related to an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Program Services Plan (PSP) were used during the ACT assessment, create annotations for school/district use, and request approval for non-participation, if needed. Student demographics may be updated in Infinite Campus (IC), and SDRR will be updated from IC nightly. Also please be aware that ACT rosters will close in SDRR before the makeup date due to the ACT testing schedule. However, ACT will also be included during Spring rosters, so there will be another opportunity to make corrections. When the Office of Standards, Assessment and Accountability (OSAA) loads spring data, 100 day accountability will be pre-loaded for any student for whom it can be determined. During spring rosters, schools and districts can request accountability changes for any undetermined student, or if the school believes it is not correct. At that time, non-participations may be requested for any students who miss the ACT makeup date. Please be sure to review the Announcements box on the home page of SDRR, which includes helpful information and links to resources. Also be sure to use the Help button which is at the top right of every page within SDRR. This tool includes Frequently Asked Questions for each type of assessment, brief how-to videos showing how to complete tasks in SDRR, step by step instructions, and other information.

At the close of the Grade 10 reading and mathematics field test window and the K-PREP test window, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) needs confirmation that proper testing has occurred.

KENTUCKY ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) EXAM ORDERING AND INVOICING WEBINAR
On April 13, 2018, Kentucky legislators passed a measure to fund AP Exams for low-income students for the next two years.
The Language is as follows:
(5) Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Exams: Notwithstanding KRS 160.348(3), included in the above General Fund appropriation is $1,000,000 in each fiscal year to pay the cost of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate examinations for those students who meet the eligibility requirements for free or reduced-price meals.
School staff wishing to receive the AP exams funding for students with free or reduced-price meals, should make every effort to attend this webinar, Thursday, March 21 from 3:15 p.m.-4:15 p.m. EST. Join Dr. Damien Sweeney, KDE’s AP State Coordinator and Gia Kaul from College Board in this webinar that will clarify final steps to secure funding for AP low-income exams and ordering for the 2018-2019 school year.
You must register here in order to receive the link to the webinar. The webinar will be recorded and posted on KDE’s AP for Administrators and AP Coordinators webpage. For more information on this webinar or AP funding for low-income students, contact Dr. Damien Sweeney.
DAC/BAC Manual
The DAC/BAC Manual is currently being printed by the vendor and will be available electronically on the K-PREP page soon. The DAC/BAC manual will be included in the shipment for districts with shipping option 2 and 3. For those districts with shipping option 1, it will arrive separately a few days later than the main shipment.
Grade 10 and 11 TAMs
The online TAMs for high school testing (grade 11 operational and grade 10 field test) are in development and will be available online soon. For the Grade 10 and 11 online assessment, the TAMs will be available electronically. Schools will not receive a paper copy of the TAM and will need to print copies if desired. Note: Test Proctors administering the paper version of the accommodated kits (Braille, large print, audio cd, and text reader) will need to print the TAM/script. A TAM will not be included in the accommodated kits. A link will be provided for the online TAMs as soon as they are completed.
