Allows school districts to offer remote testing options for students in online school programs.

The bill permits school districts with online school programs to offer remote testing options for students starting in the 2026-27 school year. This aims to reduce barriers to assessment participation and maintain fairness and equity in the assessment process. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must develop policies for remote testing, including qualifications for testing personnel, student-to-proctor ratios, and device and network requirements. The policies must also address monitoring procedures, parental consent, and agreement forms.
