[quote=Anonymous]We have run into some difficulty getting accommodations for PARCC.  I'm curious if it is an isolated incident or it is happening to other kids taking state exams this spring.  Please share if this happened to you:

1) School System Name 
2) Type of Test -- PARCC, SOLs, APs, etc. 
3) Type of Accommodation given/not given(scribe, extra-time, non-distracted environment, computer, calculator, etc.) 
4) Is the accommodation on an IEP or a 504 plan or one school was providing informally?
5) Did you or your child ask why the accommodation was given? 
6) What was the reason given for non-compliance?  
7) How will you address the non-compliance?

I'll go first:

1) MCPS 
2) PARCC
3) Extra-time given.  Calculator not given. 
4) Both extra-time and calculator are on IEP plan
5) Child reminded two different school staff proctoring the exam that DC was supposed to get a calculator. 
6) DC was told DC was not on the list and that DC's accommodation is a county accommodation, and DC doesn't get the accommodation on a state test like PARCC.  Then child was rebuked for asking.
7)  At a minimum we will document non-compliance with an email describe situation as reported by DC and asking for further info.  Considering filing a state complaint as there is a long pattern of non-compliance with accommodations.
