ELPAC email update, February 1, 2024.

Dear LEA Superintendent, Charter School Administrator, LEA CAASPP Coordinator, or LEA ELPAC Coordinator:

LEA superintendents and direct funded charter school administrators who are listed in the California School Directory are responsible for designating an LEA CAASPP coordinator and an LEA ELPAC coordinator in the Test Operations Management System (TOMS) for the upcoming 2024–25 school year.

The deadlines to designate LEA coordinators for the 2024–25 school year are as follows:

• ELPAC: April 1, 2024
• CAASPP: July 1, 2024

When designating coordinators, a primary coordinator should be selected for both CAASPP and the ELPAC. Instructions on how to designate coordinators and how to select primary coordinators can be found in the Designate Users: Overview topic of the TOMS User Guide . Additionally, designated coordinators who are new to the role should be marked with the [New] checkbox during the designation process. New coordinators will receive additional resources for support in the upcoming 2024–25 school year.

Administrators of direct funded charter schools should ensure that the person named in the Administrator field in the California School Directory is the primary site administrator for the school with the authority to designate such roles as an LEA CAASPP coordinator or LEA ELPAC coordinator. Recipients of this email who are not the appropriate person to designate an LEA coordinator should work with the County-District-School coordinator for the LEA to update the Administrator field in the California School Directory, to ensure it contains the name of the individual who has authority as the primary site administrator.

For further support, use the Get Answers lookup tool or contact the LEA's assigned LEA Success Agent.

Sincerely,

California Outreach Team
