AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Tennessee education law, primarily by allowing the Classic Learning Test (CLT), a college entrance exam, to be used interchangeably with the ACT and SAT for various purposes, including for home school students' testing requirements, for determining eligibility for lottery scholarships, and for evaluating public school performance. It also updates home school testing requirements, specifying that if a home school student does not test proficient, they may need to consult with a licensed teacher and design remedial coursework, and in some cases, the director of schools could require enrollment in a traditional school. Additionally, the bill allows home school students to access advanced courses and preparatory college entrance examinations offered by public schools if space is available, and it defines "CLT" and "CLT10" as specific college preparatory examinations.
