record that controls some of the types of
tools and accommodations that will be
available when the student takes a test.
Who can set the PNP?
• Roles with permission to set PNP

NOTE: A local or district policy determines if PNP is set by the teacher or by
a district level user. In the system today, all teachers have access to setting
the PNP for their rostered students. Policy direction on the PNP will come
form EED and the Participation Guide.
