Effective on November 12, 2021, the submission link to the Decision Guidelines for Text-to-Speech of the Smarter Balanced ELA Reading Passages was deactivated and this data will no longer be reported to the Connecticut State Department of Education. However, the Decision Guidelines for Text-to-Speech remains a critical document intended to be completed at the Planning and Placement Team or 504 Planning meetings to determine eligibility for certain students with a visual or print disability using this accommodation during instruction. The form should be used locally and maintained with the student’s record. Given the change to the submission process, the Decision Guidelines and associated resources have been updated on the portal to capture the revised procedures.
