DATE: November 1, 2010 TO: Jerry McCullough, Superintendent
Arlington Independent School District 1203 West Pioneer Parkway Arlington, Texas 76013-6246
FROM: Cathy Kline, Ph.D. Director of Test Administration SUBJECT: Receipt of Documentation
Incident ID: 100427434 Campus: Tommie Williams Elementary
Allegation: Administration
Month: March Year: 2010 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject:
Incident Description:
The district investigated an allegation made by that a grade teacher directed to
The district confirmed that this had occurred and determined that the teacher had done so in response to insistence and because of her understanding that this instructional strategy was encouraged by both the principal and the teacher’s campus instructional team. TEA believes that this contrived technique results in students being done a great disservice by their teachers.
This test-preparation strategy, when employed at this crucial elementary-level checkpoint, is a misguided practice.
Thank you for your district’s report regarding a possible testing irregularity that occurred during state-mandated testing. The security task force has reviewed this documentation and has recommended that no further action be taken by the Student Assessment Division.

Subject: Response to Serious Testing Irregularity Dear Dr. Cavazos: This correspondence acknowledges a serious irregularity that occurred in your district during the April 2011 administration of the state assessment program. The following incident was reported to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and required corrective action to be taken at the local level: Incident ID: 110425160 Campus: Boles Junior High Persons Responsible: Matthew Franks, Lisa Hurley, Fernando Benavides Administration Month: April Year: 2011 Grade: Test: TAKS (Acc) Subject: Reading Incident Description:
Campus testing coordinator Matthew Franks inappropriately directed test administrator Lisa Hurley to help him erase responses recorded on students’ answer documents during the 2011 grade
TAKS reading test after learning that the students had received test booklets. According to a district investigation, Ms. Hurley realized the students had been given
test booklets after the first of the answer documents had been collected. Mr. Franks did not notify or seek guidance from the district testing coordinator once he learned of the incident. Instead, the investigation showed that he enlisted Ms. Hurley to assist him in erasing the students’ answers so that the answer documents could be reused with
test booklets. When Principal Fernando Benavides was eventually contacted about the incident, the district report indicates that he instructed the students to re-bubble the answer documents as they had originally been filled out, further compromising the materials. The documentation indicates that Mr. Franks, who admitted to the tampering, was reprimanded and the tests submitted for scoring. Test administration manuals state that when a student’s answer document becomes unusable, test administrators must obtain a replacement answer document and transcribe the contents of the original onto the new answer document. Mr. Franks’s actions went beyond the scope of procedures governing this test administration and could have compromised the integrity of the assessment and resulted in the invalidation of students’ tests.
Test administration manuals clearly define the responsibilities of all testing personnel before, during, and after test administrations, and by signing an Oath of Test Security, individuals acknowledge that they will comply with all the requirements of the testing program.

Violations of this nature and severity could result in a referral to the Division of Educator Standards and Certification for consideration of enforcement actions. However, the Student Assessment Division security team has reviewed the documentation provided and is recommending that no further action be taken. Please make certain that all future district and campus training includes comprehensive instruction on proper test administration and the handling of test materials. Districts are required to administer all assessments in strict accordance with prescribed procedures. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact the Student Assessment Division by phone at (512) 463-9536 or by e-mail at testsecurity@tea.state.tx.us. Sincerely,

Allegation: Unauthorized viewing Administration
Month: March Year: 2010 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject:
Incident Description: Dallas ISD investigated an allegation that four teachers had gained unauthorized access to the grade TAKS assessment in advance of the test administration and had reviewed the secure test content with their students. The district subsequently provided TEA with an investigative report, which included findings reflecting that evidence was found to substantiate this allegation. The TEA Student Assessment Division was later notified that Dallas ISD had declined to pursue the involved educators due to the inability to secure sworn student testimony. As a result, TEA is unable to determine the extent to which any testing irregularity occurred and is closing this case with no further action.

Incident ID: 100720118 Campus: John Neely Bryan Elementary
Allegation: Deviation from scripted test directions Administration
Month: April Year: 2010 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject: Mathematics
Incident Description: Dallas ISD investigated an allegation made by that test administrator Sallie Malvo-Pete, during her April 2010 test session, had directed examinees to exchange grade TAKS mathematics answer documents and to change three test responses. The district reported to TEA that the Evaluation and Accountability Department had identified, through anomalies studies conducted after test results were received, that this classroom had shown unusually high test score gains and merited further investigation. To support the district’s investigation, TEA’s test security staff noted - through a visual inspection of these students’ test materials - evidence supporting that they may have been assisted. TEA sought further information and documentation from Dallas ISD on several occasions, but efforts to secure the district’s cooperation were not successful. Due to non-responsiveness on the district’s part, TEA is unable to make a final determination concerning the severity of this allegation. Through a review of the documentation submitted, TEA test security staff did determine that campus testing coordinator Beverly Lockridge improperly trained test administrators to write students’ names on their test booklets and test booklet numbers on their answer documents. Ms. Lockridge further directed test administrators not to read aloud the section of the required, scripted directions that instruct examinees to perform those tasks. TEA does not discourage districts from implementing local measures designed to reduce or eliminate errors; however, consideration must be given to whether any of these measures contradict existing test procedures. All tests must be administered in strict accordance with the instructions contained in the test administrator manuals, and no individual may change, alter, or modify scripted test directions.

Subject: Response to Severe Testing Irregularity Dear Mr. King: This correspondence acknowledges a severe irregularity that occurred in your district during the April 2010 administration of the state assessment program. The following incident was reported to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and required corrective action to be taken at the local level: Incident ID: 100722103 Campus: Cesar Chavez Learning Center Person Responsible: Jamie Davis Administration Month: April Year: 2010 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject: Mathematics Incident Description:
Test administrator Jamie Davis inappropriately recorded notes about the secure content of the grade TAKS mathematics test, then later allowed students in two separate classes to ask her questions about test items they had struggled with on the test. She wrote the items on the board and engaged these classes in conversation about the assessment in a post-test review, solving the test items and asking the students to approximate their scores. In her statement, Ms. Davis confirmed the discussion of at least 40 confidential test items but asserted that she was unaware that she was not permitted to discuss the assessment once the test session had been completed. She further declared that she had failed to thoroughly read her manual and stated that both her teacher’s assistant and a special education teacher were present during the discussions, yet neither individual expressed concern about or attempted to intervene in the activity. The district report did not include statements from these individuals. Test administration manuals clearly define the responsibilities of all testing personnel before, during, and after test administrations. Ms. Davis affirmed when she signed the Oath of Test Security that she had undergone training and had read, understood, and complied with the procedures governing this assessment. The contents of secure test booklets and student responses are considered secure materials at all times. Test administration procedures do not permit test administrators to take notes on secure test items during a state-mandated assessment or discuss this confidential test content at any time; doing so can compromise the validity of the test administration and the students’ scores. Ms. Davis’ admitted actions gave her access to confidential test content, including possible field-test items that might appear on future versions of the assessment, and were clearly prohibited.

Incident ID: 111122101 Campus: Emmett J. Conrad High School

Month: April Year: 2011 Grade: Test: TAKS-Alt Subject: Multiple
Incident Description: Dallas ISD was notified by TEA in October 2011 of complaint that Campus Testing Coordinator (CTC) [first name unknown] Mayo and District Testing Coordinator (DTC) Evelyn Reed were not responsive to concerns had raised in the summer of 2011 regarding Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills–Alternative (TAKS–Alt) test results. Specifically, had reported to CTC Mayo and DTC Reed belief that the scores noted on Confidential Score Report were not accurate or reflective of abilities and may have been falsified or inflated. further reported that had requested but had not been provided by
teacher/TAKS–Alt test administrator, Connie Gibbs Toczik, the official documentation forms supporting the high observation scores in mathematics and reading that are required to be maintained by the campus. In November 2011, Karen Byers submitted an online incident report form to TEA related to this matter, but it did not include the required statements from the individuals involved or a determination regarding the validity of the TAKS–Alt results attributed to The description in the report indicated only that Ms. Mayo and Ms. Gibbs were now at other schools, Ms. Gibbs was on maternity leave, and the current CTC at Emmett J. Conrad High School affirmed that there were no TAKS-ALT papers/forms from Spring 2011 in classroom or cumulative folders. In December 2011, TEA contacted Ms. Byers to inquire about the required documentation and information that had not been included with the online submission. Ms. Byer responded only that Ms. Gibbs Toczik was still on maternity leave and that two other employees had not yet provided statements. Ms. Byers subsequently sent an email update on 1/31/12 indicating that Ms. Gibbs Toczik had changed names, switched schools, and then taken a long leave of absence, making it difficult to obtain a statement. The email did not include any information regarding the status of the district’s investigation into the alleged inflated or falsified TAKS–Alt results or the statements that were to be obtained from the other involved individuals.

No other contact or updates from the district were received by TEA, and in October 2012 another follow-up call was placed to Ms. Byers requesting the missing information and documentation. No response was received, and a written request was then sent to DTC Robert Mount asking for a statement from test administrator Connie Gibbs Toczik regarding the required observation forms that would substantiate statements from any other individual involved in or possessing knowledge of this potential irregularity, and the district’s determination in this matter. The request also included a ten-day timeframe to provide the requested information and a notification that the district’s superintendent would be contacted for assistance in the event that a response to this request was not received. On December 18, 2012, an email was received from DTC Mount indicating that, “The Dallas ISD’s Office of Test Security has been unable to obtain a statement from Connie Gibbs Toczik or any other information pertinent to [th]is incident. Therefore, the Office of test security has closed the investigation with a determination of ‘Unfounded Procedural Violation with a lack of supporting evidence.’” As a result of the district’s inability to obtain and provide the requested, required supporting documentation and information, TEA is unable to determine whether or to what extent Connie Gibbs Toczik or Emmett J. Conrad High School personnel participated in any testing irregularity. The documentation provided to TEA did not include sufficient information on which to base any conclusion in this matter beyond the reported absence of required TAKS–Alt observation forms. It is also not known whether the district has resolved this matter with

Information regarding one incident was included in documentation associated with another potential testing violation; however, our records indicate that your district did not fulfill its obligation to submit the required online incident report as stipulated by assessment procedures. Campus: W.W. Samuell High School
Administration Month: April Year: 2011 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject: Mathematics
Description of Incident as Reported: The district testing coordinator was notified by TEA of an allegation, made in January 2011 by a teacher at W.W. Samuell High School, that associate principal Felicia Johnson had removed TAKS testing materials from the campus during the past three years and had tampered with them. In response, the district coordinator submitted documentation and included an unsigned, undated statement from Michael T-K Dang, who identified himself as an associate principal during the years in question. Mr. Dang asserted that all test materials had been kept in a secure location with limited access and at no time were they removed from the campus. In her statement, Ms. Johnson also denied that any removal of materials or tampering had occurred. She declared that the accusation against her was retaliatory in nature and cited her observation of a mathematics teacher/test administrator as he allegedly viewed a secure test booklet during his 2011 grade 10 TAKS mathematics test session. The accused teacher’s statements and written reprimand were included in support of - TEA assumes - Ms. Johnson’s denial of tampering. However, the mathematics teacher’s statement reflects his assertion that he did not view the booklet. This conflict was not resolved, by way of a clear district determination requested by TEA, in the information forwarded by the district, nor was the required corresponding online incident report form submitted to record the teacher’s alleged viewing of the test booklet. Further, the district testing coordinator did not provide TEA with the requested district determination regarding Felicia Johnson and the original tampering allegation made against her.

Subject: Response to Severe Testing Irregularity Dear Mr. Dansby: This correspondence acknowledges a severe irregularity that occurred in your district during the April 2010 administration of the state assessment program. The following incident was reported to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and required corrective action to be taken at the local level: Incident ID: 100420179 Campus: Eastern Hills Elementary Person Responsible: William Osborne Administration Month: April Year: 2010 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject: Reading Incident Description:
In April 2010, test administrator William Osborne violated state-mandated testing procedures when he enforced students’ use of testing strategies and may have provided examinees with unallowable assistance during the grade TAKS mathematics and reading assessments. In their statements, students wrote that Mr. Osborne had assisted them by
while statements submitted by other examinees and test session monitors reflect that these individuals did not observe him assist any student. Mr. Osborne confirmed in writing that he had indicated by touching students’ test materials that they were to show evidence of working out their answers to test questions; however, he denied helping any examinee. The TAKS test administrator manual clearly defines the responsibilities of all testing personnel before, during, and after test administrations, and Mr. Osborne affirmed when he signed the Oath of Test Security that he had undergone training and had read, understood, and complied with the procedures governing these assessments. Test administration procedures do not permit test administrators to direct students to use strategies during a state-mandated assessment. Doing so can compromise the validity of the test administration and the students’ scores. Further, the contents of secure test booklets and student responses are considered secure materials and may not be viewed at any time without specific authorization. Mr. Osborne’s admitted actions were prohibited and may have led to an appearance of impropriety.
Test administration manuals clearly define the responsibilities of all testing personnel before, during, and after test administrations, and by signing an Oath of Test Security, individuals acknowledge that they will comply with all the requirements of the testing program.

Test administrator Eddie Arrellano was accused in 2012 of assisting the grade students to whom he had administered the April 2011 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) mathematics test by
he denied the allegations. The district subsequently submitted findings that substantiated the allegations based on interviews with the students and a review of their written statements. TEA test security staff conducted a materials inspection of these students’ tests and compared the findings to information and claims in student statements. Specifically,

These actions may have given an appearance of assisting students.

Administration
Month: April Year: 2012 Grade: Test: STAAR Subject:
Incident Description: The district submitted an incident report with a determination that test administrator Kristen Malabayabas attempted to discuss with two colleagues the grade State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test but that the secure content of the test was not discussed or specifically viewed. In their statements, the two colleagues write that Ms. Malabayabas declared to them that she believed she was able to check completed tests or look them over when students turned them in. In her statement, Ms. Malabayabas denied that she had scrutinized the assessment and asserted that her words had been misinterpreted. Attempting to discuss confidential secure test content is not an irregularity; based on the information provided, TEA cannot determine whether Kristen Malabayabas did or did not engage in unauthorized viewing or discussion or whether any irregularity occurred.
Thank you for your district’s report regarding a possible testing irregularity that occurred during state-mandated testing. The TEA Student Assessment Division security team has reviewed the documentation provided and is recommending that no further action be taken.

Subject: Response to Serious Testing Irregularity Dear Mr. Dansby: This correspondence acknowledges a serious irregularity that occurred in your district during the April 2012 administration of the state assessment program. The following incident was reported to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and required corrective action to be taken at the local level: Incident ID: 120515119 Campus: Ridglea Hills Elementary Person Responsible: Ann Rossberg, Jennifer Bass Administration Month: April Year: 2012 Grade: Test: STAAR Subject: Incident Description:
Grade teachers Ann Rossberg and Jennifer Bass inappropriately solicited confidential April 2012 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) grade test information from their students during the week following the administration of this assessment. Specifically, both teachers implemented a lesson plan created by Ms. Rossberg that involved instructing their students to write down from memory the secure STAAR test items that the students believed had been difficult and easy. This error was discovered when Fort Worth ISD investigated the classroom activity after it was reported to the district by TEA assumes that both Ms. Rossberg and Ms. Bass were trained and oathed test administrators who had participated in 2012 STAAR testing. Documentation provided for review reflects that Ann Rossberg’s lesson plan included the topic titled “STAAR testing evaluation” along with instructions to “Write what you thought was hardest and easiest question .” She asserted in her written statement that she had submitted the lesson plan to an unspecified individual and had received no feedback indicating any problems with it. The district report did not include information regarding who reviewed or approved this lesson or failed to recognize its inappropriate nature. Ms. Rossberg further declared that she understood state testing rules and claimed that she did not compromise those rules. Jennifer Bass confirmed in her statement that she followed the lesson plan, but she did not clarify why she believed this activity was permitted. Both individuals wrote that they were trying to prepare future students for
testing.

The test administrator manual clearly stipulates that no person may view, reveal, or discuss the contents of a secure test booklet before, during, or after a test administration unless specifically authorized to do so. The actions of Ann Rossberg and Jennifer Bass in soliciting this information from examinees gave them unauthorized access to secure test content, including field-test items that could appear on future versions of the grade STAAR assessment.
Test administration manuals clearly define the responsibilities of all testing personnel before, during, and after test administrations, and by signing an Oath of Test Security, individuals acknowledge that they will comply with all the requirements of the testing program.

December 15, 2010 Melody A. Johnson, Superintendent Fort Worth Independent School District 100 North University Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76107-3010 Subject: Incident Report Dear Dr. Johnson: This correspondence acknowledges incidents that occurred in your district during the April and May 2010 test administrations of the state assessment program. The following incidents were reported to the Texas Education Agency (TEA):
1. Incident ID: 100420179 Campus: Eastern Hills Elementary
Administration Month: April Year: 2010 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject: Reading
Incident Description: The campus coordinator did not follow stipulated assessment procedures when she wrote examinees’ names on TAKS test booklets in the space reserved for students to complete this activity as they are administered the tests. Further, the coordinator also wrote and bubbled in the corresponding booklet number on each student’s answer document. TEA does not discourage districts from implementing local policies designed to reduce or eliminate test distribution errors; however, these measures should not conflict with existing, required assessment procedures. Procedures for administering TAKS tests are clearly outlined in the test administration manuals, where scripted instructions specifically direct test administrators to tell examinees that they will write their names on their booklets and their booklet numbers on their answer documents and monitor students as they complete these activities. All tests must be administered in strict accordance with the instructions contained in these manuals, and no individual may change, alter, modify, or circumvent the scripted test directions.

2. Incident ID: 100602111 Campus: Diamond Hill Elementary
Administration Month: May Year: 2010 Grade: Test: TAKS Subject: Mathematics
Incident Description: The campus coordinator did not follow stipulated assessment procedures when she wrote examinees’ names on their grade TAKS reading retest booklets and bubbled in the corresponding booklet number on each student’s answer document, activities that are reserved for students as they are administered TAKS assessments. Although requested, a letter from this individual clarifying her actions was not provided to TEA for review. TEA does not discourage districts from implementing local policies designed to reduce or eliminate test distribution errors; however, consideration must be given to whether any of these measures would contradict or deviate from existing assessment procedures. Procedures for administering TAKS tests are clearly outlined in the test administration manuals, where scripted instructions specifically direct test administrators to tell examinees that they will write their names on their booklets and their booklet numbers on their answer documents. All tests must be administered in strict accordance with the instructions contained in the test administrator manuals, and no individual may change, alter, or modify the scripted test directions.
The Student Assessment Security Task Force has completed its review of the above incidents and is recommending no further action be taken by the Student Assessment Division. Please make certain that all district and campus training includes comprehensive instruction on proper test administration and the handling of test materials. Districts are required to administer all assessments in strict accordance with prescribed procedures. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact the Student Assessment Division by phone at (512) 463-9536 or by e-mail at testsecurity@tea.state.tx.us. Sincerely,

Subject: Response to Severe Testing Irregularity Dear Dr. Ryan: This correspondence acknowledges a serious irregularity that occurred in your district during the April 2011 administration of the state assessment program. The following incident was reported to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and required corrective action to be taken at the local level: Incident ID: 110521191 Campus: Grapevine Middle School Person Responsible: Ruth-Ann Jones Administration Month: April Year: 2011 Grade: Test: TAKS (Acc) Subject: Mathematics Incident Description:
Non-certified special education aide Alex King, under the supervision of campus testing coordinator Ruth-Ann Jones, inappropriately solved and marked responses to confidential test items contained in the secure booklet he and co-test administrator Judy Balunda were issued to conduct an oral administration of the 2011 grade TAKS Accommodated mathematics assessment. It was further identified through the district’s investigation that Ms. Balunda did not use the test administrator’s booklet for the oral administration and, instead, read directly from
test booklet. Statements reflect that Mr. King's actions were discovered when Ms. Balunda returned to the testing area to retrieve the test administrator’s booklet that she had failed to account for when checking in her materials. The documentation submitted does not address why Ms. Balunda did not notice Mr. King's actions at any time prior to collecting the test administrator’s booklet. Access to secure test content through an oral administration is granted solely to meet the needs of students who qualify for this type of accommodation. Test administrators are provided specific instructions for administering a test in this manner and are not permitted to deviate from these directions unless specifically authorized to do so. The directions do not authorize anyone other than examinees to respond to test items, and they do not permit test administrators to solve, analyze, or score the assessment items they have seen.
Test administration manuals clearly define the responsibilities of all testing personnel before, during, and after test administrations, and by signing an Oath of Test Security, individuals acknowledge that they will comply with all the requirements of the testing program.

Violations of this nature and severity could result in a referral to the Division of Educator Standards and Certification for consideration of enforcement actions. However, the Student Assessment Division security team has reviewed the documentation provided and is recommending that no further action be taken. Please make certain that all future district and campus training includes comprehensive instruction on proper test administration and the handling of test materials. Districts are required to administer all assessments in strict accordance with prescribed procedures. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact the Student Assessment Division by phone at (512) 463-9536 or by e-mail at testsecurity@tea.state.tx.us. Sincerely,
