2004 Senate Bill 1153

House Roll Call 1029: Passed

To replace the Michigan Education Assessment Program test (MEAP) given to high school juniors with a new Michigan Merit Examination, which would be nationally recognized academic achievement or vocational test, such as the ACT or the ACT WorkKeys test, with a separate social studies test, which the ACT does not include. Schools would be required to include on high school transcripts a pupil's scaled score on each subject area of the test and the pupil's attendance record.
