The College and Career Success for All Students Act (105 ILCS 302) establishes criteria to “ensure each Illinois
student has a sufficient education for success after high school and that all students have equal access to substantive
and rigorous curriculum designed to challenge their minds, enhance their knowledge and skills, and prepare them
for success in college and work.”
The purpose of the program is to encourage eligible school districts to implement or expand AP® programs
designed to offer rigorous course work necessary for all students to succeed in postsecondary education or in the
workplace. Training for teachers and administrators is necessary to build capacity within schools to offer AP®
courses.
