State Assessment Excusal Process
The Law
Colorado state law requires every student enrolled in a public school to participate in the appropriate end of year state assessments for the grade level in which the student is enrolled C.R.S. 22-7-409(1.2)(d)(I), except those students taking the alternative test for that grade level. Linked here is the Colorado Department of Education’s web page with General Assessment Information regarding Colorado’s laws. The Englewood Board of Education has adopted policy IKA_R for parents/guardians to exempt students from participating in one or more state assessments. The list of state assessments being offered are located here.
The Process
Directions for excusing your student from state testing will be posted in spring 2026. Please refer back to this page then.
If you have any questions, please contact your student’s school principal or Becky Jones (becky_jones@engschools.net).
