What’s in it
AI summary High school students who want to take college classes through their school district can now use different ways to prove they are ready for college work. Instead of only using specific test scores, the school district and the college can agree on other ways for a student to show they are prepared.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 and the eligible postsecondary institution may jointly agree upon measures of college readiness which a student may demonstrate proficiency. For the school year beginning July 1, 2021, the achievement scores from the state assessment administered during the school year beginning July 1, 2019, shall be considered the latest available scores.
