Additional Clarification
If your LEA wants to use an assessment that is not included on this list it is possible that the assessment was not submitted for review by the Department or that the information submitted was not detailed enough for the Department to approve it. You are encouraged to suggest that the assessment provider submit (or re-submit) as soon as possible as applications are accepted on a continuous and ongoing basis. The posted RFQ includes specific information that assessment providers were asked to submit with their application package.
