Why 4/5: Mandates a new operational requirement for all Virginia school boards and directly impacts student access to college entrance exams.
Virginia school boards will be required to participate in the SAT School Day program, offering high school juniors and seniors at least one opportunity to take the SAT during regular school hours. This change aims to increase student access to the college entrance exam, though student participation remains optional.
