Okmulgee Board selects ACT as district College & Career Readiness Assessment
Summary
The board approved the ACT as Okmulgee Public Schools' College & Career Readiness Assessment and noted staff who assist with ICAP and college readiness.
The Okmulgee Board of Education approved using the ACT as the district’s College & Career Readiness Assessment (CCRA) during the Sept. 10 meeting. Amanda Thomas, the high school principal, said Rhea Wilson and Mariah Price are the staff currently assisting with ICAP and college-readiness activities; Ms. Jones referenced the Mustang ICAP program and Oklahoma Works as helpful local references.
The motion to adopt the ACT as the CCRA (Item 4B) was moved by Mike James and seconded by Vickie Jones and passed with aye votes from all members present. The minutes do not include implementation specifics such as test dates, student groups to be tested, or associated costs; those operational details will be handled by school administration and counseling staff.
Selecting a statewide college-readiness assessment guides how the district monitors postsecondary preparedness and how counselors advise students about testing and remediation resources.
