Provides test preparation for certain students intending to apply to take the specialized high school admissions test

The program must be offered during regular school hours at no cost to students. It specifically targets students in grades 7-8 who intend to apply for admission to specialized high schools. The bill directs the chancellor to establish this program in coordination with local school authorities.
