Electronic Device Policies for Testing:
During state (i.e., CogAT/Iowa, SC READY, EOCEP, Career Readiness Assessment, College Ready Assessments, and ACCESS) and district (i.e., MAP Growth) testing programs, students, test administrators (TAs)/proctors, and monitors are strictly prohibited from using or accessing personal electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, smartwatches, smart glasses, wireless earbuds, etc.) during active test sessions. Only district-owned devices shall be used for testing purposes (GCS Board Policy JCDA, GCS Administrative Rule JCDA, and GCS Administrative Rule EFE). Test security procedures are required to be in place throughout testing. Adherence to these protocols and ensuring staff and students are fully aware and prepared for what to expect on test day are paramount to protecting the integrity of our testing programs and upholding the validity of student results.
Each situation of student possession or use of a prohibited electronic device is investigated on a case-by-case basis. If a student is in possession of and/or uses a personal electronic device during an active test session or utilizes their district-issued testing device for any purpose other than testing, penalties may include the following:
Disciplinary action up to and including expulsion
