CAASPP TEST SECURITY AGREEMENT
I acknowledge by my electronic agreement on this form
						that the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
						achievement tests pursuant to Education Code section
						60640
						are secure tests and agree to each of the following conditions, as applicable
						to the testing environment, to ensure test security:
(1) I will take all necessary precautions to
					 safeguard all achievement tests and corresponding test materials, whether
					 paper-based or computer-based assessments, by limiting access to only persons
					 within the LEA who are responsible for, and have professional interest in, the
					 tests' security.
(2) I will keep a
					 record of the names of all persons who have been trained in the administration
					 of CAASPP achievement tests and all persons with access to achievement tests
					 and corresponding test materials, whether paper-based or computer-based
					 assessments. I have and shall have all other persons having access to the
					 achievement tests and corresponding test materials read and electronically
					 agree to the CAASPP Test Security Affidavit.
(3) Except during the administration of the
					 tests, I will keep the paper-pencil tests, and corresponding test materials in
					 a securely locked room that can be entered only with a key or keycard and, when
					 possible, in a locked storage cabinet within that room.
(4) I will securely destroy all
					 print-on-demand papers, scratch paper, and other documents as prescribed within
					 the contractor's(s') or consortium's administrative manuals and
					 documentation.
(5) With the
					 exception of subdivision (6) below, I will deliver achievement tests and
					 corresponding test materials or allow electronic access thereto, only on actual
					 testing dates and only to those persons who have executed CAASPP Test Security
					 Affidavits.
(6) For an alternate
					 assessment (CAA), I will keep all tests and testing materials in the manner set
					 forth above in subdivisions (b)(3) and (5) except during actual testing
					 administration or when being used by test examiners to prepare for and to
					 administer the assessment. I will adhere to the contractor's directions for the
					 distribution of the corresponding test materials to test examiners.
(7) I will follow all instructions contained
					 in the TAM when administering a CAASPP test remotely.
By electronically agreeing to this document, I am
						assuring that I have completely read and will abide by the above
						conditions.
