According to an article in today's Lincoln Journal Star, a senator representing Lincoln would like to launch a three-year pilot in Lincoln and 7 other districts, substituting the ACT for the state's NeSA for 11th graders. The proposed program, the article states, "would evaluate whether the ACT would be an appropriate measure of content knowledge in reading, math and science, and of college and career readiness", and is supported by the state board of education.
Lottery funds would cover the cost of administering the ACT to the roughly 5,000 participating students.
