Assessment Apportionments for STAR, CELDT, and CAHSEE

Funding is provided to reimburse local educational agencies (LEAs) and charter schools the costs associated with administering the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, California English Language Development Test (CELDT), and the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). The amount apportioned per pupil per test is established by the State Board of Education (SBE).

The tests included in the STAR Program for 2010 are the California Standards Tests (CSTs), California Modified Assessment (CMA), California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), and Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS).
