In the K-12 education system, testing accommodations are an essential part of ensuring that all students have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. However, the process of obtaining these accommodations can be confusing and time-consuming for testing and site coordinators. If you're tired of pulling together information from disconnected systems like District SIS, SEIS, and outside accommodation vendors, there's good news.
