The Pennsylvania State Education Department is planning to institute new security procedures after a 10-year-old boy ordered standardized tests to play school, the Associated Press reported.
Hempfield Area School District Director of Pupil Services Rebecca Costello told the AP the boy hopes to be a teacher when he grows up and was not trying to cheat when he filled out an online order form and faxed it to the exam company.
The tests were not delivered to the boy but instead to the school district, as part of standard procedure.
The department now plans to require a PIN on future orders, the AP reported.
