ELPAC email update, February 9, 2022.

Dear LEA ELPAC Coordinator:

Thank you to the majority of LEAs that have diligently tried to test all of their eligible students with the Alternate ELPAC operational field test by the February 15, 2022 deadline. All efforts to complete administration support critical development of the Alternate ELPAC.

Based on the current completion status summary reports, the CDE will be extending the testing window for the Alternate ELPAC operational field test to May 31, 2022 to align with the Summative ELPAC testing window. Please ensure that the Alternate ELPAC is administered by this date to all eligible English learner students with the most significant cognitive disabilities.

In addition, the testing window for the Alternate ELPAC English only (EO) study also has been extended to May 31, 2022. LEAs will be paid a stipend of $150 for each eligible EO student tested. Contact the Sacramento County Office of Education by phone at 916-228-2395 or by email at elpac@scoe.net for more information about participating in this study.
