Conference committee moves SB 381 into shell, debates civics test format and accommodations

A legislative conference committee agreed to place Senate Bill 381 into shell 2412 and debated whether the proposed high-school civics graduation exam should mirror the U.S. naturalization test (20 randomized oral questions, 12 correct to pass) or retain a 100-question model; questions about administration, who selects items, and accommodations were left for later drafting.
