AN ACT CONCERNING EXIT EXAMS FOR GRADE PROMOTION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

SB 780 requires Connecticut's Department of Education to create mandatory exit exams for each grade level in public schools. Students must achieve a passing score on these exams to advance to the next grade. The bill directly affects all public school students in grades where these exams are implemented, aiming to ensure grade-level readiness before promotion. This policy change replaces current promotion standards with a uniform exam requirement across all grade levels.
