79-759. Pilot project; standard college admission test; report.

Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, the State Department of Education may implement a three-year pilot project for the districtwide administration of a standard college admission test, selected by the State Board of Education, to students in the eleventh grade attending a public school in a participating school district to determine if such test (1) would improve the college-going rate and career readiness of Nebraska students and (2) could be utilized as the assessment for the one grade in high school as required under section 79-760.03. Participation by school districts in the pilot project shall be voluntary and shall be subject to the approval of the board. On or before September 1, 2012, and on or before September 1 each year thereafter through 2014, the department shall report to the Governor, the Clerk of the Legislature, and the chairperson of the Education Committee of the Legislature on the pilot project. The report submitted to the Clerk of the Legislature and the committee shall be submitted electronically. The project shall be paid for with funds from the Education Innovation Fund as provided in section 9-812.
