Process for Collecting PNP Information: For students without disabilities, and who are not English learners, decisions about which accessibility features identified in advance (if any and if allowed) will be included in the student’s PNP will be made based on the student’s education-related needs and preferences by an informal team, which may include the: a. Student (as appropriate) b. Parent/guardian c. Student’s primary educator in the subject of the assessment *PARCC Accessibility Features and Accommodations Manual – Page 22 -24
