Staff Confidentiality AgreementStaff Confidentiality Agreement • February 12th, 2016
Contract Type FiledFebruary 12th, 2016The Public Education Department (PED) is mandated by state and federal laws to develop and administer standardized assessments that provide valid measures of student achievement to guide instruction and evaluate school and district performance in improving academic achievement. During administration of these assessments, certain local educational agency (LEA) staff members must handle standardized test materials in the course of their work. The PED and school districts must implement stringent procedures to ensure that standardized tests are handled, stored, prepared for, and administered in a uniform and secure manner. A violation of test security requirements will result in an investigation by an LEA and the PED that could ultimately invalidate test results and may have severe consequences for the LEA.
