This bill 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, contingent upon the availability of funds. The bill outlines specific conditions under which these assessments must be administered, including the requirement for synchronous assessment sessions managed by designated personnel, video monitoring of students by proctors, and a maximum student-to-proctor ratio of 10 to one. The bill also stipulates that the assessments must be taken on assigned dates and times, students must use appropriate devices for the duration of the assessment, and they cannot exit the assessment area until permitted by the proctor. Additionally, the submission of the assessment must be verified by the proctor.

It also requires that any individual administering an assessment or serving as a proctor must be a teacher holding a valid Alabama professional education certificate. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2025. There are no insertions or deletions marked in the provided text of the bill.
