Summary: The College Readiness and Success Program is an initiative to support the involvement of all students in the college-going process at an earlier age while there is still time to inform instruction and learning and increase students’ readiness for college expectations. Additionally, earlier involvement in the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) will expose students to a wealth of college planning and preparation tools to get and keep them actively involved in the process. The College Board supports this initiative by providing districts with additional savings when districts pay to engage at least one entire grade of students in taking the PSAT/NMSQT (‘Participating Grade’). Shifting this financial obligation from the student to the District provides greater access for students to the PSAT/NMSQT and initiates students’ earlier entry on the road to college. The estimated cost to the Perris Union High School District is $57,013.50, and the estimated cost to CMI is $9,333, for a total cost of $66,346.50. The cost for California Military Institute students will be billed as a direct cost to CMI per the Memorandum of Understanding between the District and CMI. The term of this Agreement shall be for one (1) year from September 21, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2023-24 operating budget funded through A-G Learning Loss Mitigation Funds, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve Agreement CB-00035301 with the College Board for the College Readiness and Success Program.
