Test Accommodations PDF ReportState Edition Test Accommodations
Test Accommodations records sync between district and state editions. Records can also be created in state edition, but note the following:
- When a record is created in State Edition, it is saved without a District ID indicating that it is state-owned.
- When a District is selected in State Edition, the record is saved with a District ID indicating it is district-owned.
In the State Edition, when the user does not select a district from the Context Switcher, the user can see any and all test accommodations that the student has across all districts. However, the details of that record are not displayed. To see specifics of an individual Test Accommodations record, the user must select the district associated with that record from the Context Switcher.
In the following examples, the District of the record is selected in the Context Switcher.
