WVDE/County/School Technology Personnel Secure
				  Materials and Test Procedures Agreement
(For all technology personnel with access to online
				  testing systems.)
I acknowledge that I will have access to secure assessments
				  in the WV-MAP. I also acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to
				  adhere to Policy 2340, including the Testing Code of Ethics (Appendix A), for
				  all assessments within this policy, including pilot tests and field tests
				  sanctioned by WVDE. I understand that these materials are secure, and it is my
				  professional responsibility to protect their security.
I therefore pledge:
1. I will implement procedures to ensure maximum test
				  security. Access to secure materials, including methods of authentication, will
				  be restricted to the test administration period designated by the
				  state-mandated testing window.
2. I will ensure that all secure content and security
				  features have been installed and/or updated on all devices to be used for
				  administering statewide assessments and shall ensure the school's wireless
				  connections are secure for testing.
3. I will not access operational test materials or answer
				  keys.
4. I will not provide access to test items or answer
				  keys.
5. I will not keep, copy, reproduce, paraphrase, distribute,
				  or review/discuss secure test materials and/or test items.
6. I will not answer any items on the operational test as a
				  student or with a fictitious name.
7. I will not share my method of authentication, including,
				  but not limited to, my username and password to access any testing platform or
				  student data/results.
8. I will immediately report any loss of materials, damages,
				  or other deviations from acceptable security procedures to either the county
				  test coordinator or principal.
9. I understand that if a breach of test security or
				  copyright infringement occurs as a direct result of my action(s), my
				  license/certification, if applicable, may be suspended or revoked, or I may be
				  suspended, terminated, or have other action taken.
Please print your name, sign, and return the
				  WVDE/County/School Technology Secure Materials Agreement to the county test
				  coordinator or principal before access to secure test materials is
				  provided.
