The
bill
establishes
requirements
11
related

17
The
bill
requires
each
school
district
to
develop
an
18
advanced
mathematics
pathway
that
is
designed
to
increase
19
the
number
of
students
who
complete
higher-level
mathematics

if
the
student
25
attains

The
bill
also
requires
school

any
student
who
is
enrolled
in
grades
4

and
who

by
the
school
district,
9
unless
the
student’s
parent
or
guardian
requests
that
the
10
student
not
be
enrolled.
School
districts
are
required
to
11
use
this
automatic
enrollment
to
increase
student
access
12
to,
and
enrollment
in,
advanced
courses.
Additionally,
13
school
districts
are
required
to
notify
students
and
the
14
parents
or

of
students
of
the
advanced

The
bill
requires
16
school
districts
to
allow
any
student
who
is
enrolled
in
17
an
accelerated
course
to
take
the
ISASP
assessment
that

corresponds
to
the
content

of
the
course
in
which
the

student
is
enrolled.
20
The
bill
may
include
a
state
mandate
as
defined
in
Code
21
section

The
bill
requires
that
the
state
cost
of
22
any
state
mandate
included
in
the
bill
be
paid
by
a
school
23
district
from
state
school
foundation
aid
received
by
the
24
school
district
under
Code
section

The
specification
25
is
deemed
to
constitute
state
compliance
with
any
state
mandate
26
funding-related
requirements
of
Code
section
25B.2.
The
27
inclusion
of
this
