Requires the Student Achievement Council (Council) to establish an evidence-based system wide policy for granting undergraduate credit for AP exams.
Amendment offered by Rep. Melanie Stambaugh (Puyallup) (R) on March 7, 2017
Includes a new intent section that describes how many students take AP exams, how many are minority students, and how many receive scores of three or higher, while also including a statement about the Legislature's intent to establish a policy for awarding undergraduate course credit for AP exams. Requires a coordinated, evidence-based policy for granting as many undergraduate college credits to students who have earned minimum scores of three on AP exams as possible and appropriate, rather than specifying the specific options for course credits.
