3301.0715 District board to administer diagnostic assessments - intervention services.
(A) Except as provided in division (E) of this section, the board of education of each city, local, and exempted village school district shall administer each applicable diagnostic assessment developed and provided to the district in accordance with section 3301.079 of the Revised Code to the following:
(1) Each student enrolled in a building that has failed to make adequate yearly progress for two or more consecutive school years;
(2) Any student who transfers into the district or to a different school within the district if each applicable diagnostic assessment was not administered by the district or school the student previously attended in the current school year, within thirty days after the date of transfer. If the district or school into which the student transfers cannot determine whether the student has taken any applicable diagnostic assessment in the current school year, the district or school may administer the diagnostic assessment to the student.
(3) Each kindergarten student, not earlier than four weeks prior to the first day of school and not later than the first day of October. For the purpose of division (A)(3) of this section, the district shall administer the kindergarten readiness assessment provided by the department of education. In no case shall the results of the readiness assessment be used to prohibit a student from enrolling in kindergarten.
(4) Each student enrolled in first or second grade.
(B) Each district board shall administer each diagnostic assessment as the board deems appropriate. However, the board shall administer any diagnostic assessment at least once annually to all students in the appropriate grade level. A district board may administer any diagnostic assessment in the fall and spring of a school year to measure the amount of academic growth attributable to the instruction received by students during that school year.
(C) Each district board shall utilize and score any diagnostic assessment administered under division (A) of this section in accordance with rules established by the department. Except as required by division (B)(1)(n) of section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code, neither the state board of education nor the department shall require school districts to report the results of diagnostic assessments for any students to the department or to make any such results available in any form to the public. After the administration of any diagnostic assessment, each district shall provide a student’s completed diagnostic assessment, the results of such assessment, and any other accompanying documents used during the administration of the assessment to the parent of that student upon the parent’s request.
(D) Each district board shall provide intervention services to students whose diagnostic assessments show that they are failing to make satisfactory progress toward attaining the academic standards for their grade level.
(E) Any district that made adequate yearly progress in the immediately preceding school year may assess student progress in grades one through three using a diagnostic assessment other than the diagnostic assessment required by division (A) of this section.
(F) A district board may administer the third grade English language arts diagnostic assessment provided to the district in accordance with section 3301.079 of the Revised Code to any student enrolled in a building that is not subject to division (A)(1) of this section. Any district electing to administer the diagnostic assessment to students under this division shall provide intervention services to any such student whose diagnostic assessment shows unsatisfactory progress toward attaining the academic standards for the student’s grade level.
(G) As used in this section, “adequate yearly progress” has the same meaning as in section 3302.01 of the Revised Code.
