Section 3314.252
(A) Each internet- or computer-based community school that administers state assessments using remote proctoring under section 3314.25 of the Revised Code shall provide parents with information regarding available testing and proctoring options for enrolled students.
(B) Not later than two weeks after a student's initial enrollment, the school shall conduct a meeting or consultation with the student's parent or guardian, which may occur in person, by telephone, or through electronic communication, including electronic mail or other digital means, to discuss the available testing administration and proctoring options for the student.
During the meeting or consultation, the school shall inform the student's parent or guardian of the school's preferred method of administration and proctoring of state assessments and any available alternative options. A parent or guardian may elect an alternative state assessment administration and proctoring option, and the school shall accommodate such election to the extent practicable, taking into consideration the student's educational needs and the feasibility of available testing options.
If a student's parent or guardian does not respond to the school's reasonable attempts to conduct the meeting or consultation within two weeks of the student's initial enrollment, the school may proceed with the school's preferred method of administration and proctoring of state assessments.
Notwithstanding anything in this division to the contrary, if the student has an individualized education program developed under Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code that includes in-person administration and proctoring of state assessments, the school shall provide in-person testing for the student.
(C) If in-person administration and proctoring is determined to be the appropriate option for the student, the school shall provide the student with access to a testing location within a fifty-mile radius of the student's residence at which the student may complete state assessments.
(D) The school shall review the determination made under division (B) of this section annually with the student's parent or guardian and may revise the testing administration method if the school and parent agree that a different proctoring method better serves the student's needs. The school shall not revise a student's testing administration method without the approval of the student's parent.
(E) Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit a school to use a method of administration and proctoring of state assessments for a student that conflicts with the services included in the student's individualized education program developed under Chapter 3323. of the Revised Code.
