In accordance with FERPA, at 34 CFR §99.30 and IDEA requirements, I authorize the School District of Palm Beach County, Florida, to release and
exchange my child's confidential student information to agencies of the State of Florida which would allow Palm Beach County Public Schools to
receive Medicaid reimbursement for health related exceptional student services it provides to my child while at school. I understand my consent is
voluntary and may be revoked at any time. My child will continue to receive services as per his/her IEP whether or not I give consent. In addition, I
understand that I am not required to enroll in any public benefits or insurance program and that no out of pocket expense will be incurred for services
provided as part of FAPE, and that there is no impact to my Medicaid benefits as a result of this school district's reimbursement for services.

VI. Participation in State or District Assessments
Not Applicable
The decision that a student will participate in the statewide alternate assessment is made by the IEP team and must meet the
following criteria:
Does the student have a significant cognitive disability?
Yes No
Is the student unable to master the grade level general state content standards even
with appropriate and allowable instructional accommodations, assistive technology,
and/or accessible instructional materials?
Yes No
Is the student participating in a curriculum based on State Standards Access Points
for all academic areas (where applicable)?
Yes No
Does the student require extensive direct instruction in academics based on access points
in order to acquire, generalize, and transfer skills across settings?
Yes No
If the IEP team determines that "yes" to all four of the questions accurately characterizes a student's current educational situation,
then the Florida Alternate Assessment (FAA) must be used to provide a meaningful evaluation of the student's current academic
achievement. If “yes” is not checked in all four areas, then the student must participate in the Florida Comprehensive Assessment
Test (FCAT) with or without accommodations.
The ENNOBLES Act provides for the waiver of the FCAT requirement for graduation with a standard diploma for certain students
with disabilities who have met all other requirements for graduation with a standard diploma, except for a passing score on the
FCAT.
The IEP team has determined that the student will be assessed through:
General Statewide Assessment (FCAT)/ General District-wide Assessment without accommodations
(Standard Administration)
General Statewide Assessment (FCAT)/ General District-wide Assessment with accommodations as outlined in
“For Students Participating In Assessment with Accommodations” below.
Alternate Assessment
Explain why the general statewide assessment (FCAT)/General Districtwide Assessment is not appropriate
Explain why the alternate statewide assessment (FAA) is appropriate
PBSD 1998
For Students Participating In Assessment with Accommodations
Assessment accommodations may be used only if they do not alter the underlying content that is being measured by the
assessment or negatively affect the assessment's reliability or validity. Only accommodations
allowed by the individual test administration manuals may be implemented on standardized tests.
