New Allegation Reporting Process

 Allegation Reporting Process

The Kentucky Department of Education’s new application for reporting testing allegations, KDE/CORE ALLEGATION REPORTING, is now live. KDE worked with Caveon, a test security vendor, to create this user-friendly site. The previous allegation reporting site, Kentucky Testing Allegation Web Application, has been closed.

To access the application and file an allegation, all District Assessment Coordinators (DACs) should set up an account and create a password with Caveon. DACs should follow the directions to How to Set Up a Caveon ID

All documents and information on previously filed allegations are now on the KDE/CORE. Any information entered from this point forward or has already been entered and saved will be assigned a case number. Once Save or Save & Exit is clicked, the allegation is officially filed. The allegation cannot be edited, or additional documents uploaded. However, if Save as Draft is chosen edits or additional information may be added to the allegation.

Resources now available include:

• New Reporting Application: KDE/CORE ALLEGATION REPORTING Application
• New Issues Codes: Some of the codes have been combined, thus there now are only seven to choose from instead of ten.
• New Incident Reporting Form: Same form but different name. This fillable PDF can be used to report incidents that need to be filed and uploaded to KDE/CORE site. It may also be used to document the allegations/ incidents that DACs have determined can and will be handled at the district level. (See page 18 of the Administration Code for more information and examples.) It is important to note that all allegations with the possibility of lowered scores must be reported to KDE.
• Directions for Filing on KDE/CORE: Provides step-by-step directions for collecting documentation and filing an allegation.

Thanks for patience with this transition to a new application. For questions or assistance, please contact Patsy Kenner or Casandra Rosa-Burgos.
