An intersegmental advisory committee is hereby established to make recommendations to the trustees regarding the policies, organization, and operations of the California Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Program, including, but not limited to, all of the following:

(a) Developing a general policy for the diagnostic assessment of secondary pupils which is directly related to the skills and knowledge needed for success in college level mathematics and which is consistent with the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools and the expectations of postsecondary education.

(b) Developing criteria for determining program direction.

(c) Developing criteria for program evaluation which shall include, but shall not be limited to, determining whether there is an increase in the number of students taking advanced college preparatory mathematics courses, and determining whether there is an improvement in California Assessment Program, Golden State Examination, and other assessment scores.

(d) Developing criteria for ensuring that all public schools throughout the state have access to program services, and ensuring, as a primary objective, participation by those schools with low student enrollment in postsecondary education.

(e) Identifying additional resources and efforts which promote the objectives of the program.
