Term:12/14/2023-12/13/2024
Amount:$17,616.00
Scope: To meet the NYS Office of Assessment requirement to use uniform answer sheets statewide for all Regents Pre-Tests, Regents and NYSITELL exams. The District must maintain the capacity to build answer documents, scan, score, and report student responses and Regents results which will be used both in-school for report cards, transcripts and student records and for submission through the Student Information Repository System (SIRS). As part of this mandate, the District generates results that can load into the eSchoolPlus student management system, generate files that support mandated reporting to NYS, and provide almost immediate on-demand reports of individual and summary results (class, grade and school) for each exam. Supporting PC and scanner hardware for scanning, verification and reporting is maintained in conjunction with the Technology Department.
