Test Administration Options

An LEA must implement in-person or co-located administration of the Initial Alternate ELPAC as the only method of conducting the assessment. In-person or co-located administration occurs when the TE and student are in the same room while completing the assessment. In-person or co-located administration is not limited to the school site. If a student is distance learning, assessments may be accomplished at a prearranged location or the student’s home as long as both the student and the TE are together in the same room. The LEA should carefully limit physical contact and implement proper social distancing protocols that meet all state, county, and local health and safety guidelines for in-person administrations.

General information about physical distancing measures can be found in the Suggested Guidelines for Physically Distancing Test Administration web document. For more up-to-date and specific information on safe test administration in the LEA’s local area, please contact local county health officials.
