HB 2485 - DIGEST
(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

Directs the superintendent of public instruction to make available to school districts a college placement test that districts shall annually offer to students in tenth or eleventh grade. Districts shall encourage but may not require students to take the test. The superintendent shall select the test from commercially available products.

Provides that the test shall serve to assist students, parents, and teachers in the planning and selection of appropriate high school courses and to gauge student readiness for postsecondary study, including dual enrollment programs. Results of the tests and relevant student, school, and district characteristics shall be compiled by the superintendent of public instruction to permit research and analysis, including analysis using the unique student identifier, and shall be made available to the parents of those students tested. Aggregate results shall be made available to the public and the legislature.
