School districts providing full-time digital instruction may administer required state assessments remotely in virtual settings that align with students' regular online learning format, effective for the 2026-2027 school year

Remote assessments must include video proctoring with district staff monitoring students throughout testing, scheduled within the commissioner's designated testing window, with a maximum 10-to-1 student-to-proctor ratio

Students must use devices enabling video monitoring by proctors, with a second device required if the assessment platform lacks integrated camera proctoring capabilities

College readiness and workforce readiness assessments from national providers are excluded from remote administration under this provision

Appropriates $200,000 in fiscal year 2027 for implementation, increasing the statewide testing and reporting system funding from $10,892,000 to $11,092,000
