The department shall base the college and career readiness school performance index (SPI) key indicator score for public secondary schools on postsecondary preparedness for college and career through two pathways: assessment of readiness and progress towards post high school credentials. Assessment of readiness shall be evidenced by participation in and performance on: the, South Dakota Math and English Language Arts Assessments, the American College Test (ACT) for high school achievement, the College Board Accuplacer test, and the National Career Readiness Certificate/ACT Work Keys (NCRC). Progress towards post-high school credentials shall be evidenced by performance on an Advanced Placement Exam, completion of a dual credit course sponsored by the state, or earning Career and Technical Education Concentrator status. The department shall calculate the college and career readiness SPI key indicator score for a public secondary school by adding together the numbers obtained via the calculations in §§ 24:55:02:09.04 and 24:55:02:09.05. This calculation is illustrated in Appendix G at the end of this chapter.
