Bill > SB0088

This bill, titled "Education matters," makes several changes to Indiana's education laws, primarily focusing on college entrance exams and good citizenship instruction. It mandates that state educational institutions (SEIs), which are public colleges and universities, must accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) for admission purposes to the same extent they accept the ACT and SAT, which are nationally recognized college entrance examinations. The bill also requires the Indiana Department of Education to identify and publicly list schools that allow students not enrolled in that school to take certain standardized tests, such as Advanced Placement exams, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and the CLT, making this information easily accessible on the department's website. Additionally, it updates the definition of "good citizenship instruction" to include research-based actions that promote economic prosperity, such as obtaining further training for the workforce, securing full-time employment, and delaying parenthood until marriage. Finally, the bill ensures that the Classic Learning Test is included as an option for students to voluntarily take as part of their high school graduation plan.
