The bill, referred to as HB95 Enrolled, pertains to the administration of state-required assessments for full-time students in virtual education settings in Alabama. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, virtual schools or programs may administer these assessments remotely under specific conditions. These conditions include having the assessments administered at a set date and time, in a synchronous session managed by designated personnel, with video monitoring of the student for the entire duration. If the assessment platform does not support integrated camera proctoring, a second device must be used for monitoring purposes. The student-to-proctor ratio must be 10:1 or lower, and students are not allowed to leave the assessment area until permitted by the proctor, who also verifies the submission of the assessment. The bill exempts public institutions of higher education and certain college and workforce readiness assessments until they are available remotely. Only teachers with a valid Alabama professional education certificate may administer or proctor these assessments.
