The state attorney general’s office issued an opinion Friday that says school authorities have limited options for tracking the testing of home-schooled students.
Education Commissioner Ken James presented a set of questions to the AG’s office, seeking guidance on how school districts can get results of standardized tests taken by children who are educated at home.
The opinion said that, while students who do not get tested are considered truant, “the statute is silent regarding which agency will determine compliance or how this determination will be made.”
