Synopsis As Introduced
Requests that the Illinois Community College Board reconsider the contract it holds with the GED Testing Service with regard to high school equivalency testing, evaluate the results of other companies that provide high school equivalency testing versus historic data concerning the Test of General Educational Development, and study the feasibility of other companies providing high school equivalency testing in this State or having this State implement its own high school equivalency testing by looking at how other, comparable states administer high school equivalency testing.
