Content: If a parent does not allow a child to participate in certain state tests, there may be consequences for the child, the child’s teacher, and the school and district, including consequences on the Ohio School Report Cards. To help parents make informed decisions, schools should provide in writing the possible consequences of failing to test, as well information about other district consequences. Schools are not required to — but may want to — request that a parent place in writing a decision not to participate, so there is a record of why the student was not tested. State tests are critical for measuring student learning and ensuring that every Ohio student receives a high-quality education. The results from state tests are how we hold districts, schools and teachers accountable and ensure that all children receive the services needed to succeed. Student test scores are the foundation of Ohio’s A-F school and district report cards, which are designed to show parents, taxpayers and school leaders how well students are performing.
