AB 652

Current law requires school boards, charter schools, and private schools

participating in a parental choice program to administer a state assessment to pupils

in grades 3 to 8 and 10, commonly known as the Forward Exam. This bill allows the

Forward Exam to be administered through remote proctoring if the school board,

charter school operator, or private school governing body administering the Forward

Exam has in place a remote proctoring policy that contains at least all of the following

requirements:

1. The examination must be administered at an assigned date and time set by

the school within the testing period.

2. The pupil must attend a synchronous examination session initiated and

managed by school personnel.

3. The examination must be administered to the pupil using a device through

which the pupil is monitored by the examination proctor through video for the

duration of the examination.

4. The pupil may not exit the examination administration until instructed to

do so.

5. The submission of the examination must be verified by the administrator of

the examination.
