What’s in it

AI summary Schools that teach mostly online, such as charter schools and school districts, can now give state tests in an online format. To do this, a staff member must watch the student through a video feed during the test to make sure everything is done correctly. The school must also set a specific time for the test and have someone confirm that the student submitted it.1
