Any interim assessment vendor serving public school districts
				  must meet the following criteria to be selected as a state-approved interim
				  assessment vendor and placed on the state-approved interim assessment list. It

				electronically share assessment data with the statewide longitudinal data
				system within thirty days of administering the assessments and in a format
				compatible with the statewide longitudinal data system. Interim assessment data
				sharing can occur in two different ways:
a.
				The vendor shares a statewide file with the state for use in the statewide
				longitudinal data system that consists of all school districts in the state
				that they serve. The data-sharing agreement would allow access to that school
				district's portion of the state file.
b. The vendor shares individual school
				district files with the state for use in the statewide longitudinal data
				system.

				the North Dakota department of public instruction to retrieve the approval form
				that interim assessment vendors must complete. This approval form will also be
