2020–21 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Fee-based Services
Rescoring Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST)
The online Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (administered in two content areas—English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics) and the CAST include machine‐scored and hand‐scored test questions. A local educational agency (LEA) may ask to have the hand-scored responses on a student's test rescored by calling the California Technical Assistance Center (CalTAC) at 800-955-2954 and making the request. The LEA must provide the following required data for the student—Statewide Student Identifier (SSID), school name and code, and LEA information—and content area(s) to be rescored. A purchase order must be provided at the time of the request.
Note that a request for rescoring online assessments may be made for the hand-scored responses only.

Video Student Score Reports (SSRs)
Video SSRs can be purchased from ETS and distributed to parents/guardians using a distribution method determined locally. SSRs will cost $1.00 per set of video SSRs. A set is one video SSR in English and one in the student’s primary language if that language is Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Cantonese, or Filipino. An additional cost of $0.25 per set will be added if the LEA elects to have ETS text out the videos. The LEA will need to provide the cell phone numbers in that scenario.
