DURING CEHI

27
CEHI and TESTING

• Students may earn eligible days present when CEHI
  instructors administer routine quizzes, daily or
  weekly classroom exams, etc. that are required as
  part of the instructional requirements of a
  class.

28

• CEHI and TESTING
• Test administration of standardized, six-weeks,
  semester, final exams, and TAKS is limited to the
  student earning one day present for a minimum of
  one hour or more of testing in one calendar day.
• When it takes the student more than one hour to
  complete the exam, the additional contact hours
  cannot be credited as attendance.

29

• CEHI and TESTING
• The additional CEHI may be any day of the same
  week, Sunday to Saturday, including the same
  calendar day that the test was administered. In
  all cases the CEHI instruction must be in
  addition to the time the student was tested.
• For example, the teacher administers the Math
  TAKS on a Tuesday. It takes the student 2 hours
  to complete the Math TAKS. The student earns
  only one eligible day present for Tuesday. The
  teacher returns on Wednesday and administers the
  Social Studies TAKS. It takes the student 2
  hours to complete the Social Studies TAKS. The
  student earns only one eligible day present for
  Wednesday. The CEHI teacher must schedule two
  more hours of CEHI instruction during that week
  so the student can earn an entire week of
  attendance credit..

CEHI On Campus Testing

• Students receiving CEHI during the postpartum
  period of pregnancy may return to campus on a
  limited basis for testing. However, on-campus
  testing cannot be credited for eligible days
  present.

  period of pregnancy cannot return to campus for
  testing without a doctors release.
