  DEADLINE: Justification for Exceeding 1.0 Percent Statelevel Cap on New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSAA)

  DEADLINE: Justification for Exceeding 1.0 Percent State-level Cap on New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSAA) Participation and Assurance of Participation in Tier 1 Universal Technical Assistance and Supports (2024-25 NYSAA Participation Data) – View info from NYSED’s page
  
  Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) will now be notified in the Fall of their annual NYSAA status, including required Tier 1 supports and Tier 2 and 3 required interventions.

  Tier 1: Please refer to the 2024-2025 NYSAA participation data, posted on the Office of Special Education NYSAA Justification webpage, to determine your Tier 1 NYSAA classification. All LEAs with participation rates above the 1.0 percent cap are required to complete the “Justification for Exceeding 1.0 Percent State-level Cap on New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSAA) Participation and Assurance of Participation in Tier 1 Universal Technical Assistance and Supports (2024-2025 NYSAA Participation Data)” form in the IRS Data Exchange (IDEx).

  The New York State Education Department recognizes that many LEAs have recently completed the NYSAA Tier 1 supports in Spring of 2025, and therefore, for Fall of 2025, there will be an option to choose on the form, certifying that staff have already completed NYSAA Tier 1 Supports to satisfy the requirements.

  The completed NYSAA Justification and Assurance form must be submitted via IDEx no later than December 31, 2025

  Tier 2 (LEAs that exceed 2.0 percent) and Tier 3 (LEAs that exceed 2.5 percent) will be notified separately by the NYSED Office of Special Education (OSE) of their required intervention. Questions relating to the 1.0 percent NYSAA State-level Cap may be directed to the OSE Policy Unit at speced@nysed.gov.

  ·         Questions relating to Tier 2 and 3 required interventions may be directed to the OSE Educational Partnership – Regional Partnership Center.
