Agenda Item Summary:
This brief updates the School Board about the PSAT/SAT Fall Schedule for the 2023–2024 school year.  
Background:
Each school year, students in grades 9–12 have the opportunity to participate in school-day testing for the PSAT/SAT. The dates are selected in collaboration with the College Board and the Titan Testing Team. Testing usually occurs in October and April of a given school year. These school testing days afford Titans greater access to assessments that can be highlighted on college resumes, allow students to qualify for National Merit Scholarships, and have SAT scores for the early college application process. There are no fees to students for these assessments.  
Recommendation
The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information regarding the 2023–2024 School Day PSAT/SAT dates.
