AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky law to allow students who graduate from non-certified private high schools to be eligible for KEES (Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship) awards. It defines an "eligible noncertified school graduate" and establishes an equivalent grade point average (GPA) for these students based on their ACT (American College Test) scores, which will determine their KEES base amount. The bill also makes conforming changes to other sections of the law related to KEES awards, including how the award amounts are calculated and the eligibility requirements for students attending various types of educational programs.
