Allowable Uses and Standardized Testing
House Bill 745 (HB 745) would establish an education savings account that families can use so long as they aren’t enrolled full-time in a public school. Account funds can be spent on qualifying education expenses, including private school tuition, tutoring services, educational supplies, contracted public school services, and transportation. The bill provides for the administration of standardized tests to participating students, which can include state tests required of public schools or a nationally norm-referenced test approved by the state school board.

The part in bold is what interests me as the parent of children in private school. It is my understanding that each school has to "opt-in" to the program and participate in State mandated testing. I don't see my children's school opting in to State testing.
