Senate Bill 704: Mandates Passage of the FCAT Prior to Graduation from a Private School

Author:
Senator Gary Siplin

Summary:
If this bill passed, all students enrolled in a private school would be required to have a passing score on the score on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) before receiving a high school diploma.
