SSB 1025 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.

SSB 1025 allows Iowa school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools providing primarily internet-based instruction to administer statewide student assessments online under specific conditions. It requires assessments to occur during scheduled synchronous sessions monitored via video by proctors, with a maximum 10:1 student-to-proctor ratio, and mandates verification of assessment submissions. The bill directly affects online schools and their ability to conduct state-mandated tests remotely while maintaining assessment integrity. It amends Iowa Code to require these specific monitoring and administration procedures for online assessments.
