HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS ARE MET?
       SRA candidates meet the graduation assessment requirement only when the district receives written approval from the county superintendent.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
       DISTRICT ROLE: Although all districts in New Jersey have adopted a combination of state and local graduation requirements, the decision on whether a student graduates is made by the local school district, pursuant to law and rule. The district superintendent and the high school principal are required to verify that each student's performance on the SRA PAT meets or exceeds the proficiency level of the state's graduation assessment.       
       COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT ROLE:  The county superintendent reviews the SRA student profiles to ensure that each local district implementation of the SRA process is in compliance. 
       STATE ROLE: The state's role is to ensure that the rights of all students are protected according to relevant statute and code.

WHAT DOES THE STUDENT HAVE TO DO?
       All SRA students must continue to take the HSPA each time it is administered, including March of the senior year. This requirement serves to underscore the fact that the HSPA is the primary means to demonstrate proficiency in the language arts literacy and mathematics content areas.
