About The KIPP Texas Test Security Training, Oath of Test Security, and Cambium Account Google Form Sign Up Requirements for SY 2026-2027

Test security and confidentiality is everyone's responsibility. In addition to collecting important data for our schools, students, and teachers, testing also has a major impact on accountability measures and successful student outcomes. At KIPP Texas, we take test security and confidentiality very seriously. Every KIPP Texas employee plays a part in ensuring that our schools, students, and teachers have fair and equitable testing experiences and that we are collecting viable and reliable data.
