# Tests and scoring materials
must be stored in a secure location until the date that the answer sheets are
due to be returned to scanning centers.
* Public school districts and
nonpublic schools should select specific dates within the testing periods specified
for administration of the ELA tests in their schools.
^ Schools that have difficulty accessing the 877 area
code should fax questions to the help line (919-425-7733). The help line for
Grade 4 ELA will be closed Feb. 21-25, but will accept faxes and will respond
to the faxes the morning of February 28.
** Public school districts
and nonpublic schools must adhere to these dates in order to receive their
official individual student score reports. Districts that return their answer
sheets to the scanning centers past the dates specified will have their scores
computed by the scanning centers and reported to the Department through the
LEAP system. Answer sheets returned to the Department by nonpublic schools past
the dates specified will not be included in the calculation of the school’s
mandated services aid.
