I-TRAx• Using the I-TRAx data as well as other information, Student Assessment
staff in consultation with technology staff will make recommendations about each school’s capacity to deliver online assessment. Schools and districts will then be informed of their recommended capacity.
• Schools who have a limited capacity to test online may select which grades will be assessed online. The default practice will be to assess the highest grades online first.
• Schools/districts may request a review of the recommendations and submit a formal appeal if they feel the recommendation is unreasonable.
