Summary

Existing law provides for the administration of a general educational development test. Existing law authorizes the Superintendent of Public Instruction to provide the test to, among others, persons confined in certain hospitals or correctional institutions. Existing law authorizes the Superintendent to grant a waiver to a county office of education to provide a general educational development test preparation program, not to exceed one hour per schoolday, as part of any other instructional program during the regular schoolday to certain of these confined persons. This bill would no longer limit that program from exceeding one hour per schoolday. The bill would replace all references in the Education Code of the "general educational development test" to a "high school equivalency test."
