When means and methods that can be administered virtually while maintaining reliability and validity are available to replace their in-person equivalents, unit members, in consultation with their Special Education Supervisor may, as appropriate, have the option of using the virtual means or method. The District will purchase licenses for virtual means and methods of testing as appropriate to comply with this section and will provide unit members with the necessary associated training, equipment, and materials. Unit members will be provided with a means for documents to be signed virtually.
