2021-2022 Dropout Guidelines

 

2021-2022 Dropout Guidelines and Nov. 1 Deadline

The 2021-2022 Dropout Guidelines are now available on the KDE Dropout Data webpage. This data should be reviewed initially through the Infinite Campus (IC) KY State Reporting Dropout Report by the deadline of Nov. 1. After that date, there will be one final review through the Student Data Review and Rosters (SDRR) application. Instructions for review of the dropout data in SDRR will be provided in a Monday DAC Email prior to this final review period. Questions concerning Dropout Reporting may be directed to David Curd via phone (502) 564-9853, ext. 4744, email or Teams.

Spring ACT 2022

 

ACT Spring 2022 State Administration Welcome Email

The spring 2022 administration of the ACT is opening in PearsonAccessnext (PAN) the week of Nov. 1. District Assessment Coordinators (DACs) and Test Coordinators (TCs) will receive an email from NoReplyTestAdmin@act.org announcing the opening of PAN. The email message will include directions for accessing the systems, schedule of events and completing required tasks within each system. It will also include links to system user guides with more detailed information.

After logging in to the system, TCs will be able to select a test date (deadline: Dec. 3). Test Coordinators will use the Test Accessibility and Accommodations (TAA) system to request ACT-authorized accommodations and manage the status of those requests. The deadline to request ACT- authorized accommodations is Jan. 7.

If School Test Coordinators have changed since 2020 testing, DACs should forward the ACT email to the current Test Coordinator and then change the TC contact information in PAN. Directions for changing TCs can be found in the PAN User Guide for the ACT. New DACs that do not have an account in PAN for the ACT should email Shara Savage. Note: the PAN account for ACT is different than the PAN account for the Kentucky Summative Assessment.
