Introduction  \nThe District of Columbia Statewide assessment program, administered by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), is of the utmost importance to the measurement and reporting of the achievement of students and schools in the District of Columbia. Pursuant to the District of Columbia Public Education Reform Act of 2007, effective June 12, 2007 (D.C. Law 17-9; D.C. Official Code § 38-1800 et seq.), OSSE serves as the State Education Agency (SEA) and performs the functions of an SEA for the District of Columbia under applicable federal law, including grant-making, oversight, and state functions for standards, assessments, and federal accountability requirements for elementary and secondary education.  \nOSSE has developed these Test Security Guidelines to set forth minimum requirements that ensure that local educational agencies (LEAs) and school personnel are aware of the state requirements for maintaining strict test security procedures. OSSE’s goal is for schools and LEAsto deliver a uniform and equitable statewide assessment program. For assessments to yield fair and accurate results, the assessments must be administered in consistent and standardized conditions; the best way to ensure that occurs is to ensure all teachers and administrators understand and recognize acceptable and unacceptable assessment practice.  \nII.
