State Testing The District provides required accommodations training for state assessments and training to administer and process state assessments. Training opportunities are also provided to use the district-purchased data visualization system for analyses of state and district-purchased assessment results. The basic cost for accountability and evaluation services includes help

desk support and access to use of the district-purchased data visualization system. The District does not provide stipends for Charter staff for implementing required testing, except potentially for ACCESS testing substitute support (subject to review and approval of specific requests). In preparation for state testing, each charter school should review the latest online testing hardware and software requirements from CDE. Schools need to have an adequate number of devices that meet these requirements in order to give the online test(s) during the 3-week testing window. (Note: Student owned devices cannot be used for state testing.) Early Literacy (READ Act) Assessment and Data Submissions All district schools are expected to comply with the requirements of the READ Act, including state data collections and submissions. The READ Act compliance cost is part of the service cost as are the assessment tools to the extent that the Charter school uses the assessment tool selected by the District. All Charter schools must submit data for the following state collections and reports for the READ Act: ● READ Data Collection for Per Pupil Funding ● READ Budget Submission ● READ K-3 Literacy Program Reporting ● READ K-3 Evidence-Based Teacher and Administrator Training Requirements School Readiness Assessment

The Office of Strategic Partnerships, School Leadership team and the Academics Department provide support and consultation at a universal level to all charter schools inclusive of information and guidance with the Colorado Department of Education's Online UIP System, district-approved data visualization system and SchoolView. The District facilitates review and approval of charter unified improvement plans by the Office of Strategic Partnerships. District staff also facilitate approval of the plans by the Board of Education if required in the case of any charter schools with a plan type of Priority Improvement or Turnaround.

In the case of charter schools with a plan type of Priority Improvement or Turnaround or certain Federal ESSA identifications, more intensive targeted support is available, including one-on-one meetings and UIP/data training with charter school staff; targeted communications with CDE staff regarding plan requirements and recommended revisions; and coordination of CDE resources. The Boulder Valley School District submits all UIPs regardless of plan type to CDE via their online system and for schools on Priority Improvement or Turnaround conducts continuous reviews and progress checks regarding their UIP implementation. Data Visualization Data visualization is provided for a variety of statistics in addition to assessment results, including school enrollment, course enrollments, discipline, attendance, surveys and so on.
