Rule 6A-10.042 currently addresses specific procedures required to maintain test security and to maintain uniform test administration procedures to ensure that test results are valid and reliable measures of student achievement. The amended rule would retain current language, but also specify the criteria required of 3rd-party contractor sites with respect to: student health and safety, testing environment, affiliation, test security and administration procedures, student data, and technology. The effect will be increased test administration capacity for school districts and educational institutions that contract for these services. This will reduce the overall length of time that school districts and educational institutions will need to test all students, especially for those districts and institutions with high student-to-device ratios and shortages in staffing.
