AKSA Office Hours Scheduled
OAA is pleased to announce its office hour sessions for the spring administration of the Alternate Kentucky Summative Assessment (AKSA). Office hours will address questions specific to the Window 2 administration. The first session will occur prior to Window 2 opening, and there will be a second session prior to the closing of the window.
DACs, BACs, Directors of Special Education (DoSE), and all teachers/test administrators will be able to ask questions and receive assistance during this time. The dates, times, and links to the Teams meetings below may be forwarded to any school personnel who may benefit from attending these sessions:
AKSA Office Hour #1 (Preparing for Window 2) - Monday, April 13, 2026, 1 p.m.-2 p.m. ET
AKSA Office Hour #2 (District Post-Administration Procedures) - Wednesday, May 20, 2025, 10 a.m.-11 a.m. ET
Please note that the questions asked during the office hour sessions should be specific to the AKSA. Please contact Krista Mullins with any questions.
AKSA Window 2 Science Materials
The Test Administrator Directions for Administering the Attainment Tasks state that “the elementary required assessment materials envelope contains a bag of science materials.” For Window 2, please note that a bag of science materials is not required and, therefore, is not included in the Required Assessment Materials envelope.
For questions, please contact Krista Mullins.
AKSA Window 2 Administration to Begin Tuesday, April 14
Administration of Window 2 for the AKSA begins on Tuesday, April 14 and runs through Friday, May 22. The Student Registration Database (SRD) will open for score entry on Tuesday, April 14 and will close on Friday, May 29. All scores must be entered into the SRD by the close of business on Friday, May 29.
For questions, please contact Krista Mullins.
SRD and CRD Deletion Requests
Districts needing to delete students from the SRD or the Career Readiness Database (CRD) will need to complete the 2026 SRD/CRD Student Deletion Request form. Please allow 1 to 2 business days for KDE to review the request. A follow-up email will be sent to districts after the request has been processed. Approved requests will be completed beginning Monday, May 11.
Deletion requests are for students who no longer meet Kentucky’s eligibility criteria for the alternate, have moved out of state, or have passed away. If a student has moved to another district in Kentucky, please email the Statewide Student Identifier (SSID) number to Krista Mullins and include the new district and school the student attends for the student to be transferred in SRD. If a student has transferred to homeschool, please wait until closer to the end of the second window to request the deletion in the event the student re-enrolls.
For questions about the SRD, please email Krista Mullins.
Please email Sherri Craig in the Office of Career and Technical Education (OCTE) for questions regarding the CRD.
AKSA and TAR Makeup Requests
Districts need to submit a request for each student who needs to make up Window 1 of the AKSA or retake the Transition Attainment Record (TAR) using the Spring 2026 Window 1 and TAR Makeup Request form. Please allow 1 to 2 business days for KDE to review and approve the request. Districts may not administer Window 1 until after the request has been approved by KDE. An approval email will be sent to districts once the request has been processed. As a reminder, all students participating in the AKSA must complete both Window 1 and Window 2, regardless of when the student became eligible for the AKSA. Once the second window begins (Tuesday, April 14), test administrators will administer the Window 1 Attainment Tasks (ATs) before Window 2 ATs.
For questions, please contact Krista Mullins.
