Neither state law nor the education commissioner’s regulations provide any legal right or mechanism for students – or school districts – to opt out of required state assessments, except for certain exceptions such as those involving students with disabilities. Districts may not make "Adequate Yearly Progress" in the state’s accountability system and could lose federal Title I funding if participation in the tests falls below 95 percent.
