A: It's possible that the school and state are requiring the student to return for in-person testing because they have specific testing requirements that cannot be fulfilled remotely or online. Some standardized tests, such as the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), may require students to be physically present in a testing center or classroom.

However, given the circumstances of the military family being reassigned from California to Washington, it's possible that there may be some flexibility or accommodations that can be made. You may want to reach out to the school and state officials to explain your situation and ask if any accommodations can be made, such as testing the student at a different location or allowing them to take the test remotely.

Additionally, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) operates schools for military families and may be able to provide additional guidance or support. You may want to contact the DoDEA or your local military installation for more information and resources.

Overall, it's important to communicate with the school and state officials to find a solution that meets the testing requirements while also taking into account the unique circumstances of your family's relocation.
