Abstract | California community colleges began implementing a landmark law (AB 705) in 2019, making major assessment and placement reforms that have virtually eliminated remedial prerequisites for both English and math.

Three years into the AB 705 era, significant progress has been made. But persistent racial equity gaps in successful course completion and the challenges posed by the pandemic must be addressed. In addition, debates continue about what it means to comply with AB 705, whether corequisite courses are effective, and whether remedial courses should remain an option. To inform efforts to improve student success and promote equitable outcomes, this policy brief offers several recommendations. [For the full report, see ED623601.
