TO REQUIRE AN ADULT APPROVED TO OVERSEE THE ADMINISTRATION OF A STATEWIDE STUDENT ASSESSMENT TO CERTAIN STUDENTS IN A VIRTUAL SETTING TO MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS.

SB 470 establishes new requirements for adults overseeing statewide student assessments for students in virtual school settings. For students in kindergarten through eighth grade taking these assessments virtually, an approved adult, such as a parent or guardian, must be physically present with the student for the entire duration of the test. For students in grades nine through twelve taking virtual assessments, an approved adult must attest prior to the assessment that both they and the student will adhere to all testing security protocols. This bill affects public schools operating primarily as virtual schools and their students taking statewide assessments.
