Federal and state laws require all districts and schools to test all students in specific grades and courses.
There is no law that allows a parent or student to opt-out of state testing, and there is no state test opt-out procedure or form. If a parent withdraws a child from participation in certain state tests, there may be consequences for the student, the student’s teacher, and the school and district.
Please read the document provided by the Ohio Department of Education explaining the importance of state testing.
Please complete this form if you intend to enroll your child in the Crestline Schools but do not live within district boundaries.
Background

Who is Homeless under McKinney-Vento?
Students who are in shelters, living in motels, living in cars / parks / campgrounds, and students who are doubled-up due to economic hardship all qualify as homeless under the McKinney-Vento Act. Students who are unsheltered or living in substandard housing or awaiting foster care placement may also qualify for services.
