| IL | Signed into law 08/2005 | P-12 | Creates the College and Career Success for All Students Act. Requires a teacher of an Advanced Placement course to obtain appropriate training, subject to appropriation. Requires the State Board of Education to establish training guidelines that require teachers of Advanced Placement courses to obtain recognized Advanced Placement training endorsed by the College Board, subject to appropriation.

Requires the state board to encourage school districts to offer rigorous courses in grades 6 through 11 that prepare students for the demands of Advanced Placement course work. Requires the state board to encourage school districts to make it a goal that all 10th graders take the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholars Qualifying Test so that test results will provide each high school with a database of student assessment data to identify students who are prepared or who need additional work to be prepared to enroll and be successful in Advanced Placement courses. Also requires the state board to:
(1) Seek federal funding through the Advanced Placement Incentive Program and the Math-Science Partnership Program to support Advanced Placement and Pre-Advanced Placement professional development;
(2) Focus state and federal funding with the intent to carry out activities that target school districts serving high concentrations of low-income students;
(3) Subject to appropriation, develop a communications plan that includes disseminating to parents materials that emphasize the importance of Advanced Placement or other advanced courses to a student's ability to gain access to and to succeed in postsecondary education and materials that emphasize the
importance of the PSAT/NMSQT.
(4) Subject to appropriation, annually evaluate the impact of this Act on rates of student enrollment and success in Advanced Placement courses, on high school graduation rates, and on college enrollment rates.

| TX | Signed into law 06/2005 | P-12 | Allows the commissioner to develop a standard method of computing a student's high school grade point average that provides for additional weight to be given to each honors course, advanced placement course, international baccalaureate course, or dual credit course completed by a student. If the commissioner develops a standard method under this section, a school district shall use the standard method to compute a student's high school grade point average, and the student's grade point average computed in that manner shall be used in determining the student's eligibility for automatic college admission. Requires each institution of higher education that offers freshman-level courses to adopt and implement a policy to grant undergraduate course credit to entering freshman students who have successfully completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, who have achieved required scores on one or more examinations in the Advanced Placement Program or the College-Level Examination Program, or who have successfully completed one or more courses offered through concurrent enrollment in high school and at an institution of higher education. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/tlo/textframe.cmd?LEG=79&SESS=R&CHAMBER=S&BILLTYPE=B&BILLSUFFIX=00111&VERSION=5&TYPE=B
