HB 18-1193

HB 18-1193 extends a program that provides incentives for schools to encourage students to take Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The extension lasts until 2021, and it requires the Department of Education to report on how many students are taking these AP classes and their performance in them. Additionally, the bill mandates reporting on the financial support given to school districts participating in this program. Since the bill has been signed, the extended program is now active and schools can continue to receive incentives for promoting AP courses among students.
