N.M. Admin. Code § 6.10.7.13 - NONDISCLOSURE OF STANDARDIZED TEST MATERIALS
A. All standardized tests in the NMSAP are
the proprietary interest of the department and shall be safeguarded.
B. Any person permitted to review a
standardized test that is part of the NMSAP or participating in a review
associated with assessment development procedures shall sign a nondisclosure
form offered by the department agreeing not to reveal any confidential
materials, specific standardized test items, or specific concepts or skills to
be measured on the standardized test to include verbal or written restatements
of standardized test items, minor changes in settings or numbers, and specific
vocabulary from standardized test directions or standardized test
items.
C. Any person given
permission to review an NMSAP assessment may only review the assessment on-site
during department office hours with the supervision of a department employee,
unless permission to follow alternative review procedures is granted by the
department. No NMSAP assessment may be written on, marked, electronically
copied, hand-duplicated, or otherwise removed from the premises of the
department or a local education agency in possession of an NMSAP
assessment.
D. Upon request, a
person suspected of engaging in a testing irregularity shall be given as much
access to an NMSAP assessment as is reasonably necessary to prepare for a
pending meeting or hearing relating to the suspected testing irregularity. The
original or copy of any NMSAP assessment used as evidence at any meeting or
hearing shall also be subject to confidentiality by all attendees and
participants.
E. With the
permission of testing vendors, the department may choose to release select
portions of standardized assessments for the purposes of training and
professional development. Under no circumstance shall any part of a
standardized test not previously released by the department be released by any
unauthorized individual or organization.
