SACRAMENTO (Press Release)–A bill to pilot a project for the uniform assessment of incoming community college students has been approved by the Legislature and awaits action by the governor.
Assemblyman Marty Block (D-San Diego), the bill’s author, said that AB 2682 requires the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges to establish a pilot project that will create a uniform, centrally delivered system of student assessment.
“Currently about 70% of incoming community college students do not have the adequate preparation to perform successfully in college-ready courses,” Block said.
“Accurate assessment is vital to ensuring that these students are placed in the appropriate basic-skills classes that build the foundation for success.”
