, a college-level framework that's often conflated with general teachings on systemic racism.
The College Board, a not-for-profit organization, develops high school advanced placement courses and standardized tests, including the SAT. Many colleges grant students credit for passing AP classes."This College Board, like, nobody elected them to anything. They’re just kind of there, and they’re providing service," DeSantis"So you can either utilize those services or not. And they’ve provided these AP courses for a long time.
"And I think the legislature is going to look to reevaluate kind of how Florida's doing that. Of course, our universities can or can't accept College Board classes for credit, maybe they'll do others." He said the state would also evaluate whether state universities will require students seeking admission to submit an ACT or SAT, the latter of which is offered by the College Board.
