Fee-based Services

Summative ELPAC Excess Materials Orders

At the end of each testing year, ETS will invoice local educational agencies (LEAs) for excess materials ordered in the Test Operations Management System (TOMS) during the primary and supplemental ordering windows. The excess materials are calculated by determining the difference between the sum of the number of Answer Books (including braille) ordered versus the number of Answer Books (including braille) ordered that were returned for scoring. Any overages are excluded from these calculations.

Excess Answer Books (K–2 paper)	$2.01	Per excess Answer Book
Excess Braille Packages (K–2)	$322.78	Per excess Braille Package

Rescoring Student Responses

For a fee, an LEA may request the rescoring of a student's Writing Answer Book for the Summative ELPAC. An LEA must call the California Technical Assistance Center (CalTAC) at 800-955-2954 to make the request to have the responses on a student's Writing test rescored. The LEA must provide the required data for the student, which is the student's Statewide Student Identifier, school, and LEA information. A purchase order also must be provided at the time of the request.

Of the four ELPAC domains—Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing—the LEA can request only the Writing domain to be rescored. The rescore service is not available for the Listening, Speaking, and Reading domains because the score data for these domains is collected electronically and verified before reporting.

Requests received by July 1 will be included in the end-of-year file and the student will receive a new SSR. Requests received from July 2 through the last business day of August will not be included in the end-of-year reporting file, but the student will receive a new SSR. Scores will be included in the LEA student data files.

All requests to rescore a student response must be made by the last business day in August of the testing year.

Video Student Score Reports

Summative ELPAC video Student Score Reports (SSRs) can be purchased from ETS and distributed to parents/guardians using a distribution method determined locally. SSRs will cost $1.00 per set of video SSRs. A set is one video SSR in English and one in the student’s primary language if that language is Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Cantonese, or Filipino. An additional cost of $0.25 will be added if the LEA elects to have ETS text out the videos. The LEA will need to provide the cell phone numbers in that scenario.
