Dear Principal Name, I wanted to let you know that my child, name, will not take part in the name the test this year. We ask that you make arrangements for him/her to have a productive educational experience during the testing period. Thank you for all you do.
It may vary by state. In Texas teachers have the right to refuse to have a student return to their class, HOWEVER......'when you refuse a child that means that you are forcing a teammate to take them on. There are many different ways admin can lean on a teacher to take a child.
All students enrolled in Texas public schools and open-enrollment charter schools in grades 3–8 and specific high school courses are required by both federal and state law to participate in STAAR.
The state of Texas requires that students pass (or substitute criteria) 5 STAAR exams (3 in 9th, Eng II in 10th and US History in 11th) in order to graduate. A high school student can opt out of STAAR and still graduate if they qualify for a combination of substitute assessments, IGC and other options.
"There is no parental opt-out for STAAR assessments. Federal and state laws require that all eligible students participate in STAAR.
No. State law makes it clear that students may not opt-out of tests, including standardized tests. The complete Texas Education Code section 26.010 states: EXEMPTION FROM INSTRUCTION.
