(1) Each charter school that includes any of grades nine through twelve may administer to students enrolled in those grades the basic skills placement or assessment tests that are administered to matriculated first-time freshman students pursuant to section 23-1-113, C.R.S. The charter school may administer the tests to a student at any time and as often as it deems necessary while the student is enrolled in any of grades nine through twelve, but the department of education shall allocate moneys to each charter school to offset the costs incurred in administering each of the test units only once per student while he or she is enrolled in those grades.

(2) If a charter school chooses to administer the basic skills placement or assessment tests, each student's individual career and academic plan shall include the scores achieved by the student on the basic skills placement or assessment tests and, based on an analysis of the scores, the student's level of postsecondary and workforce readiness at the time he or she takes the tests. If a student's scores indicate that he or she is at risk of being unable to demonstrate postsecondary and workforce readiness prior to or upon graduating from high school, school personnel shall work with the student and the student's parent or legal guardian to create an intervention plan that identifies the necessary courses and education support services the student requires to be able to achieve postsecondary and workforce readiness prior to or upon graduating from high school and to be prepared to continue into the postsecondary education option, if any, selected by the student in his or her individual career and academic plan without need for remedial educational services. If appropriate, the charter school, the student, and the student's parent or legal guardian may choose to enroll the student in one or more basic skills courses at an institution of higher education through the "Concurrent Enrollment Programs Act", article 35 of this title, if the student is enrolled in twelfth grade.
