CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â With students preparing to take their STAAR tests later this spring, there will be no online alternative for parents who don t want to send their children back to school over COVID-19 concerns.
The Texas Education Agency announced Friday that students will have to take the standardized tests in person under the supervision of a test administrator.
A parent and a student at Evans Elementary School in Corpus Christi were happy to hear the news.
âIâd rather do it in class, because you can focus on it more, fifth grader Sofia Rivas said.
