Requesting a Testing Exemption (English Language Proficiency Assessment and/or Science)
Parents, guardians, and adult students may request an exemption from taking the English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) or OSAS Science assessments. OAR 581-021-009 allows parents, guardians, or emancipated minors to request an exemption from testing based on a student’s disability or religion. Unlike the opt-out process for Math and ELA, requests for exemptions for all other tests must satisfy the following conditions:
- Be submitted in writing to the district (there is no standardized form)
- Include reasons for request (disability of religion)
- Propose an alternative learning activity for the student
- Subject to district review and determination whether to approve
