Continuous Enrollment
Title 5 Regulations
• In January 2012, the SBE adopted regulations that define
continuous enrollment for accountability purposes. These
regulations do not, in any way, mandate local policies about
enrolling or exiting students in the California Longitudinal Pupil
Achievement Data System (CALPADS).
• California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 5 Section 1039.2,
specifies that a student is considered continuously enrolled if
the student was enrolled in the same school or LEA from Fall
Census Day to the first day of testing without a gap of
enrollment of 30 or more consecutive calendar days. This
definition was first applied with the 2011 Base API.
6
Continuous Enrollment
Important Dates
• Continuous enrollment is determined by using enrollment
and exit code data from CALPADS. For the October 2012
accountability release, data was extracted from CALPADS
on August 15, 2012.
• The CDE will extract CALPADS enrollment and exit code
data on two more occasions. The tentative schedule is:
– December 20, 2012
– February 26, 2013
• The CDE will use the extracted data, along with corrected
demographic data, to update AYP and API Reports.
7
Reassignment of Test Scores
• SB 219 requires assessment and other accountability results
of some students enrolled in an Alternative Education
Program (AEP) to be assigned back to a school or LEA of
residence in the calculation of the API.
• In January 2012, the SBE adopted CCR, Title 5, Section
1039.3, which specifies how students’ STAR and CAHSEE test
scores will be reassigned.
• STAR and CAHSEE results are assigned to a non-AEP school
and/or a non-AEP LEA of residence if both of the student:
– Was referred after Fall Census Day to an AEP school (i.e.,
exited using student exit code T167 in the CALPADS) and
– Took the STAR and/or CAHSEE at the AEP school.
8
Five-Year Cohort Graduation Rate
• In January 2012, the SBE approved an amendment to
California’s Consolidated State Application Accountability
Workbook to add the use of a five-year cohort graduation rate
for 2013 AYP determinations.
• In February 2012, the SBE and CDE submitted the amendment
to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) for approval
• The updated January 2013 AYP reports will include the 2012
five-year cohort graduation rates and growth targets for the
2013 AYP determinations.
• Meeting the four-year or five-year cohort graduation rate will
qualify as meeting the graduation rate criteria for AYP
• The five-year cohort graduation rate will be used as an
alternative method for meeting the graduation rate criteria if
the eligibility criterion is met.
9
New API Indicators
• The CDE will convene the Public Schools Accountability Act
(PSAA) Advisory Committee to discuss incorporating the
following indicators into the API:
– High school graduation rates.
– Middle school dropout rates (grade 8, and grade 9 for
schools where grade 9 is the highest grade offered).
10
Senate Bill 1458
• Senate Bill 1458 was sent to the Governor’s desk on August
29, 2012. If signed, the bill would require:
– Assessments constitute 60% of a high school API
beginning with the 2016 API calculations.
– New variables be incorporated into the API one full
academic year after the state board approves the
addition of a new variable.

Testing Windows
November Election and Proposition 30 School Year Calendars
• Test windows can be changed if orders are not in an
Approved Status.
• Once the orders have been placed, testing windows are fixed
and cannot be changed.
• Set up test administrations only after number of instructional
days and school calendars are finalized.
• Orders still must be placed and approved by December 1, 2012.

California High School
Exit Examination
(CAHSEE)
Options for Meeting the CAHSEE
Requirement
• Take the test with or without accommodations and pass both
English–language arts (ELA) and mathematics portions.
(California Education Code [EC] Section 60851[a]).
• Take the test (ELA and/or mathematics portion) using a
modification and score at least 350 and obtain a local waiver (EC
Section 60851[c]).
• Utilize the exemption (EC Section 60852.3)
• On behalf of a student with disabilities (SWD), the local
educational agency (LEA) or special education local plan area
(SELPA) may submit a streamlined waiver request (EC 56101).
19
CAHSEE Exemption
• The exemption was enacted through the 2009–10 Budget
Act and is established in EC Section 60852.3.
• Eligible SWDs are exempt from meeting the CAHSEE
requirement as a condition of high school graduation.
• At its July meeting, the State Board of Education (SBE)
adopted permanent regulations extending the
implementation date for alternative means to January 1,
2013. This extension also will, in effect, extend the
exemption.
• Assembly Bill (AB) 1705 (Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 192,
Effective January 1, 2013.) amends California Education
Code (EC) sections 60852.1 and 60852.2. On January 1,
2013, the implementation date of the alternative means
will be postponed until July 1, 2015.
• AB 1705 also authorizes the SBE, through regulation, to
extend this date up to one year.
20
