Summary

The bill would label schools or districts that receive an "F" accountability rating as College Opportunity Zones and require them to offer every student in grades 6‑9 a "Save Me a Spot in College" pledge. The pledge promises a fee waiver for two or more years at a public community, junior, or state college if the student shows continued financial need. Schools that are not rated "F" could still let eligible low‑income students join the program.
