Summary

The measure adds the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an accepted college‑entrance exam alongside the ACT and SAT. It also gives parents of home‑school students more choice in standardized testing for grades 5, 7 and 9, and expands opportunities for those students to take advanced courses and preparatory exams at public schools. The changes aim to broaden assessment options and ensure remediation for students who do not meet proficiency standards.
