Bill Summary
A BILL To promote the use of the Classic Learning Test (CLT) at military service academies and federally-run schools.
AI Summary
This bill requires military service academies and certain federally-run schools to recognize or administer the Classic Learning Test (CLT), a standardized academic assessment. Specifically, the Department of Defense must instruct service academies to accept CLT scores (alongside SAT and ACT scores) as part of cadet and midshipman admission applications. Additionally, the bill mandates that Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) schools and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools administer the CLT to eleventh-grade students. The CLT is an alternative standardized test designed to assess students' academic knowledge and critical thinking skills, similar to more widely known tests like the SAT. By requiring these federal educational institutions to recognize or use the CLT, the bill aims to provide more testing options for students and potentially promote what its supporters might consider a more classical approach to academic assessment.
