Board hears update on remote proctoring, surety-bond option and consolidated funds
Summary
Staff reported Prov is onboard as a remote proctoring provider (roughly 170 exams administered), a surety-bond option is now available in lieu of financial statements, and separate LLE and LFP funds have been combined under statute for authorized uses.
Staff presented operational and legislative updates to the board, including an onboarding report for a new remote exam proctoring vendor and changes enacted in recent legislation.
A staff member said the board has a new provider for examinations and that Prov is present at the meeting; "A 100 and seventy's already taken taken the test," the staff member reported when describing early uptake. The board noted that PSI will remain available through September during the transition and that Prov will honor existing PSI materials through the end of the calendar year to ease the transition for candidates.
On the legislative side, staff explained that statute now authorizes a surety-bond option in lieu of providing reviewed financial statements and that two previously separate funds (LLE and LFP) have been combined into one fund to be used as statute authorizes. Staff said form language for the surety-bond option is posted on the board website, and they are updating references in application materials and online documents.
