A. NAEP, also known as the "Nation's Report Card," reports its results from jurisdictions around the country. NAEP uses a random stratified sample to select school districts, schools within those districts, and students within those schools. The testing window for NAEP is January through March.

B. NAEP is authorized to measure and report on academic achievement by carrying out a national assessment, state assessment, and a long-term trend assessment in reading and mathematics.

C. The NAEP test contractor handles all aspects of NAEP testing including distribution and collection of all test materials. The testing process involves about 60 minutes of assessment in one subject (mathematics, science, or reading). Results are reported within six months.

D. Participation in NAEP

1. In 1990, the NAEP assessments became a part of the LEAP, with state statute R.S. 17:24.4, making participation in NAEP mandatory for Louisiana schools. Additionally, the NCLB Act mandates schools' participation. Participation in NAEP is a requirement for states and school districts receiving Title I grants.

2. District superintendents and school principals are notified of their selection for the NAEP testing process in early fall. Parents of students are then notified and asked to grant permission for the students to participate. Individual student participation is not mandatory.

AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 17:24.4 et seq.
