Iowa SF211 allows online schools to administer statewide assessments under specific conditions.

Iowa SF211 modifies the administration of statewide summative assessments for students in online schools. It permits school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools to administer these assessments online if certain conditions are met. These include maintaining a student-to-proctor ratio of no more than 10 to 1, ensuring students do not exit the session without instruction, and verifying student submission of the assessment by a school employee. The bill also requires the state board of education to adopt rules implementing these provisions.
