This bill specifies that any virtual school or program that is part of the Missouri Course Access and Virtual School Program may administer any statewide assessment virtually.
The bill outlines requirements for such virtual assessments, including the monitoring of students via a camera and the maintaining of a student-to-proctor ratio that is targeted at 10-1 or lower (Section 161.670 RSMo).
Currently, school districts with an average daily attendance of 350 or less students qualify for additional funding. This bill removes from such average daily attendance count any nonresident students enrolled in the virtual school program in such school districts (Section 163.044).
This bill is similar to SB 1049 and HB 1820 (2024).
