The bill establishes an Academic Acceleration Pilot Program aimed at increasing access to advanced coursework in six selected school districts or charter schools during the 2026-2027 to 2028-2029 school years. The program mandates that participating districts adopt an automatic enrollment policy for advanced coursework in language arts, mathematics, or science for students who meet specific eligibility criteria. Additionally, the bill outlines requirements for participant districts, including prioritizing the recruitment of teachers of color, notifying parents about automatic enrollments, and collecting disaggregated data on student participation and performance in advanced coursework.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for the appropriation of funds from the general fund to support the pilot program, allowing the Department of Education to retain a portion of the funds for administrative purposes. By January 1, 2030, the commissioner of education is required to submit a report to the legislature detailing the program's outcomes, including enrollment statistics and feedback from participating districts, along with recommendations for a potential statewide academic acceleration program.
