SF 211 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the administration of the statewide summative assessment of student progress to students of online schools by school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools.

SF 211 allows Iowa school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools offering primarily internet-based instruction to administer statewide student assessments online. The bill requires that these online assessments be conducted during live, school-managed sessions where students take tests at assigned times. Key conditions include real-time video monitoring of students by school staff, a maximum 10:1 student-to-proctor ratio during testing, and verification of test submissions by school employees. These rules apply to all state assessments required under Iowa Code §256.7(21)(b)(2) for online students.
