Abstract	This brief paper summarizes data collected by the National Association for State Directors of Special Education on state policies concerning accountability for students with disabilities receiving special education in public or private settings outside of district K-12 school buildings. It focuses specifically on participation in assessments and the reporting of assessment results. A survey was completed by State Education Agency (SEA) representatives of 30 states and 4 non-state jurisdictions. Survey data are reported concerning formal participation policies, formal reporting policies, reporting assessment results (both general assessments and alternate assessments), and other uses of assessment results. The study found that only 12 responding SEAs have formal written policies on participation in assessments by students with disabilities in out-of-district settings. Six additional states, however, noted that their policies included all students with disabilities, regardless of setting. Several SEAs noted that lack of policy or procedures is related to the small number of students in most out-of-district settings. The paper urges states to include these students in both state and district-wide assessments since the No Child Left Behind Act requires accountability for all students. (DB)
