SB 97 – This act requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to contract with an online test preparation company to provide a customized SAT and ACT preparation program to all public high school juniors. Students may choose to participate in one but not both programs. The chosen company must have demonstrated performance as described in the act and provide a skills-based approach that emphasizes skill development in English, reading, mathematics, and if providing skills-preparation for the ACT, science. This act is similar to SB 1282 (2008).
