What’s in it

AI summary High school students who want to take college classes through their school district will now have to meet specific readiness rules agreed upon by both the school board and the college. Instead of school boards picking their own separate tests or standards, the district and the college must decide on the requirements together.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides an option for a student who is unable to meet the proficiency requirements of the senior year plus program that must otherwise be met prior to the student’s enrollment in a postsecondary course through district-to-community college sharing or a concurrent enrollment program. Under the bill, the school district shall adopt measures of college readiness jointly agreed upon by the school board and the eligible postsecondary institution through which a student may demonstrate proficiency. The bill strikes a provision that authorizes a school board to establish alternative but equivalent qualifying performance measures on its own. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
