(2) (a) For each of the demonstration options by which a high school student may demonstrate college and career readiness, as recommended by the state board in the high school graduation guidelines adopted pursuant to section 22-2-106 (1)(a.5), the state board shall adopt achievement standards that indicate that a student has demonstrated a level of college and career readiness sufficient for high school graduation and higher achievement standards that indicate that a student is prepared, without needing remediation, to enroll in general education core courses. At a minimum, the higher achievement standards must include: (I) Specified, higher scores on the assessments included in the demonstration options, which scores indicate a student is prepared to enroll in general education core courses without need for remediation; and (II) Receipt of college course credits for concurrent enrollment in career and technical education courses or general education core courses or higher-level courses.
