PROCEDURES FOR NORTH CAROLINA TESTING PROGRAMS
(TO BE ATTACHED TO THE 504 WRITTEN ACCOMMODATION PLAN if applicable)
A.
PROCEDURAL MODIFICATIONS AVAILABLE
Standardized testing procedures for qualifying students under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 require that test modifications and administrative procedures be developed and
implemented to assure that individual needs are met and at the same time maintain sufficient
uniformity to fulfill the purposes of testing. North Carolina Statewide Testing allows the
following procedural modifications for certain students. Please note that it should not be assumed
that all special test editions will be available. This is a result of the growth of the testing programs
and the need for periodic review of materials to ensure quality.

Annual ECP Report
1. Standards and consequences for Behavior:
The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to provide an excellent
education for each student, to establish standards for acceptable behavior, and to provide
an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. The Board of Education adopted a district
Code of Conduct which is published and distributed to students at the beginning of each
school year. (See Craven County School System 2006-07 Student Policies and
Regulations: Attendance, Discipline, Grievance, Harassment, Promotion/Non promotion,
and Acceptable Use)
The standards of behavior and the consequences are identified for uniform
disciplinary actions/consequences.
.
The Board of Education has not restricted the authority of the principals and
teachers to make rules, consistent with the Code of Conduct, to provide governance and
operation of their schools and classrooms, respectively. Therefore school and classroom
rules are also in existence.
The Superintendent shall, upon recommendation of the Principal, remove to an
alternative educational setting any student who is at least thirteen years of age who
physically assaults and injures a teacher or other school personnel. If no appropriate
alternative educational setting is available, then the Superintendent shall, upon
recommendation of the Principal, suspend for no less than 300 days but no more than
365 days any student who is at least thirteen and who physically assaults and
seriously injures a teacher or other school personnel. The conduct leading to
suspension or removal to an alternative educational setting must occur on school
property, or at a school-sponsored or school-related activity on or off school property.
By law, Principals shall report the following acts to law enforcement immediately
after he/she becomes aware of them:

2. Roles and responsibilities of school personnel, as they relate to the
plan, including consequences for failing to carry out the responsibilities.
School personnel are responsible for the knowledge and compliance with Board
Policy, state and federal statutes, public laws and regulations.
Consequences range from verbal and/or written reprimand to termination and any
other possible consequences determined by law enforcement.

position.
3. Procedures for identifying and serving students at risk of academic
failure or of engaging in disruptive and disorderly behavior.
a)Policies and procedures for identifying and serving at-risk students.
Students who are at-risk of academic failure or display inappropriate behavior may
be identified by teachers, counselors, or administrators. These school personnel will
contact the parent with their concern and with background information to better
understand the student. The classroom teacher can identify these students based on
classroom observations. Official school records, report cards, test data, retention and
discipline records are used to assess student needs. These students may then be
referred to the Student Service Management Team (SSMT) to consider means to
better meet student needs. These students can be served by such programs as
tutorials, labs, referral to Exceptional Children’s Programs, credit recovery,
contracts, and peer tutoring. Students identified as at-risk academically or because
of dangerous /disruptive behavior should have a PEP (personal education plan).
Strategies that may be included in those plans are permissible physical restraint,
seclusion, and isolation.
Through the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Craven
County Schools is working in collaboration with the ReSET project, to identify
strategies and best practices to more successfully work with at-risk students to
reduce out of school suspensions and dropouts. Also, realizing that the diverse
population we serve requires a variety of teaching and learning strategies and
approaches, several of our schools have begun to use the Positive Behavior Support
system. Two schools are piloting the Instructional Consultative Model, to identify
students with at-risk behaviors and indicators in the regular classroom. We are also
investigating and doing pre-planning for an alternative school in Craven County.
Fortunately, we have an elementary school no longer being used that would serve as
an excellent site for an alternative school. One of the most widely used strategies
geared toward success for all students in Craven County Schools is our Character
Education initiative. All 23 schools will use the same character trait of the month;
for example, for July it is Citizenship. Citizenship will be posted, and used in the
daily routines of all students. This positive theme serves to unite all the students in
the system working toward a common positive goal.
a) Efforts to assist at-risk students and evaluation for effectiveness.
Success of at-risk students is measured one student at a time in the most successful
programs. Alternative program/school success is considered successful when a
student scores a three or four on both parts of the EOG and/or makes significant
gains, attends school on a regular basis, and has made progress with his/her
behavior. A short term measure of success would be the ability of the student to
successfully transition back into the regular classroom/school setting. The true
322
measurement cannot be determined until the student successfully completes his
education and graduates from high school. Another measure will be the reduction
in the number of out of school suspensions and dropouts.
b) Protocol for placement of students into alternative schools or learning
programs.
The Alternative Learning Program (ALP) is designed for students who struggle in
the regular classroom and/or who have discipline problems. Students can be
recommended for ALP placement by parents, teachers, or by administration. The
Student Service Management Team determines the student’s placement. There will
be a parent conference held prior to entrance to the program, during which the
guidelines will be explained to the parents and the student. Parent refusal to consent
for student entry does not negate the school’s decision. Upon entry into the ALP
Program a Personal Education Plan (PEP) must be written for the student, in which
academic and behavior goals are established. Before a student can re-enter the
regular classroom, he/she must satisfactorily complete a pre-determined portion of
the ALP requirements. A behavior sheet/planner and rubric is monitored each day.
The student will take the form home for review by the Parent/Guardian. A student
who is placed for academics is monitored through the use of a student planner;
his/her homework is written in the planner on a daily basis. Positive academic
progress is the focus for those students who are placed in ALP for academic
monitoring.
4. Objectives and strategies for working cooperatively and
effectively with law enforcement and court officials to maintain
safe and orderly schools, and to insure that laws are enforced.
The Craven County School System believes that quality partnerships are integral to
continuous improvement. Articulation occurs between the five law enforcement
agencies to align strategies to maintain safe and orderly schools. There are four
regular meetings that focus on preventative plans and updates on changes in the
federal codes, general statutes and local codes. These meetings have resulted in
establishing guidelines for the operation of School Resource Officers. Also, in case
law enforcement is needed to maintain or restore order, law enforcement officers
may, at their discretion, use mechanical restraints or seclusion in the lawful exercise
of their law enforcement duties.
5. Strategies for informing parents and representatives of the
schools and local communities about the integration of the safe
schools plan.
The school community, parents and local community will be informed of the
implementation, monitoring, and integration of the Safe Schools Plan by the use of
public service announcements, reports and presentations to the Board of Education,
newspaper articles, minutes of the Board of Education, presentations to community
groups and availability for media interviews. The School Health Advisory Council,
made up of community members and school system representatives, meet quarterly to
review school safety, to suggest and initiate changes, and to gather and share
pertinent information regarding the safety of the schools. The Craven County
Schools student handbook will be used to inform parents regarding current
legislation. Additionally, our Safe Schools Plan will be posted on the system web
page.
