Bill > SB2636

This bill allows the Classic Learning Test (CLT), a college entrance exam, to be used interchangeably with the ACT and SAT for various educational purposes, including as an alternative standardized test for home-schooled students in grades 5, 7, and 9, and for determining if a school district (LEA) meets certain academic performance benchmarks. It also clarifies that the CLT and its preparatory version, the CLT10, can be used in after-school programs aimed at improving test scores for at-risk students in grades 7-9, and that public schools must allow home-schooled students to take advanced courses or college preparatory exams if space is available. The bill also updates language in existing laws to include the CLT alongside the ACT and SAT when referring to standardized test scores for academic reporting and student eligibility for scholarships.
