LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
This bill would require a community college district to provide public notice of its policies regarding the placement of students, and would require the notice to include the community college district’s placement policies regarding threshold scores required on specified assessments, required grades in specific high school courses, a required high school grade point average, and recommendations by an instructor or counselor. To the extent this bill would impose additional duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
