Education - As introduced, authorizes virtual schools to administer TCAP tests to their students in a virtual setting if certain requirements are met. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 822 allows Tennessee virtual schools to administer the state's standard TCAP tests (Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program) online to students, rather than in person, if they follow specific security rules. The bill requires virtual schools to conduct tests during live, synchronized sessions with video monitoring by a proctor, maintain a student-to-proctor ratio of no more than 10:1, and prevent students from leaving their testing area until the proctor permits. Schools must provide a second device for monitoring if the test platform lacks built-in video capabilities, and all virtual test administration must align with the state's official testing window. This policy directly affects Tennessee virtual schools and their students, taking effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
