Did anyone ever hear of this?

This week we had a state representative propose a bill that would penalize state K-12 public schools if a former student enrolled in a college remedial math or English course at a public college or university in our state.

The colleges and universities were suppose to calculate the cost of all public school students taking remedial classes, including building operations, faculty salaries and benefits. Those amounts would be deducted from state appropriations to the high schools attended by students who didn’t arrive prepared for college-level work. High schools would be accountable for their graduates for two years.

However, no one else testified for the bill and the rep has sensed that it would not make it through the process, so it won’t be proceeding.
