Assessment Security

Testing Security Policies, Plans and Consequences

The successful implementation of a system-wide student assessment program requires a concerted effort by all personnel involved in the testing process.

In accordance with the Georgia Department of Education, any action that compromises test security or leads to the invalidation of an individual student’s or a group of students’ test scores is viewed by the Bulloch County Board of Education (Board)  as inappropriate use of handling of tests and will be treated as such.

The Board's test security policy/plan follows the Georgia Board of Education guidelines as outlined in the Georgia Student Assessment Handbook for ensuring and maintaining student assessment integrity and providing accountability.

As a part of the security policy all personnel involved in each test administration are required to attend training which covers roles and responsibilities and appropriate handling of secure test materials. Personnel are also made aware that failure to comply with established testing policies and procedures may be reportable to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.

The Professional Standards Commission shall determine the appropriate disciplinary action and consequences necessary as related to teaching certificate. The following may apply as deemed by the severity of the incident: Warning, Reprimand, Suspension, Denial, Revocation.
