Seems like there is a need for an independent third-party group to monitor the tests. Since that is likely prohibitively expensive, here's an idea:
1) Have schools partner with each other, where each school is matched to another school of similar size.
2) Extend the testing into twice as long periods (e.g., if it was a 1-day test, now the test period is 2 days).
3) Have partner schools test on opposite period halves.
4) Have partner schools give students the day(s) off on the non-test half.
5) Have schools send their teachers to their partner schools to monitor all the tests.
Now, this isn't fool-proof. It's possible that teachers across multiple schools could collude. It would be crucial to mix teacher pairs up so that if A monitors B then B does not monitor A, thus requiring a multi-way collusion that involves many participants.
