Students who pass exams to get cash
The Republican - April 10, 2008

SPRINGFIELD - Cold hard cash will be offered at two city schools next year,
to expand the number of students who take Advanced Placement courses and
pass related mathematics, science or English examinations.

At Central High School and Springfield Renaissance School, juniors or
seniors will be given $100 for each Advanced Placement test they pass in
math, science or English.

Teachers of the college-level courses in those subjects will get a $500
stipend, plus $100 for each of their students who scores at least a 3 on
Advanced Placement exams, which are scored from 1 to 5. Students who get 3's
are also eligible for credit at most colleges.
