(1.2) (d)(III) Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring a child participating in a non-public
home-based educational program pursuant to
section 22-33-104.5 to take an assessment
or exam administered pursuant to this section,
even though the child may also be attending
a public school for a portion of the school
day and therefore included in the pupil enrollment
of a district.
.....
(1.3)(b) A school district, upon the request
of the parent or legal guardian of a child
who is participating in a nonpublic home-based
educational program pursuant to section 22-33-104.5,
shall permit such child to take any assessment
required by subsection (1) of this section
and shall provide to the parent or legal
guardian of the child the results of any
assessments administered, including diagnostic
reporting for such child's performance on
each assessment. The parent or legal guardian
of such a child shall be required to pay
all costs associated with administering and
providing results for such assessments.

Note: This section of law protects a
child participating in a non-public home-based educational program who is
also enrolled in any class in a public school from having to take the
public school assessment. If a parent wants the child to take the
assessment then (1.3) (b) of the same section provides for that occurrence
and the parent pays all costs associated with administering and providing
results for such assessments.
