Correspondence Programs
Testing
Information on the required nationally standardized testing programs may be
obtained from sources below or from the local public library or the home
education support groups previously listed. Some private school administrators
may be willing to assist home study parents in obtaining and administering the
required tests. State law does not require public school systems to provide
testing services. However, if a local school system voluntarily wishes to offer
a service to parents for testing students not enrolled in that school system,
the test instruments and materials used for these students should not be paid
for with state funds. In addition, careful consideration should be given to
keeping this test data separate from that of the public school system so that
validity of the public school reports will not be compromised in any way.
