An SAT/ACT preparation course will be provided to students at Marietta High School during the next school year as an elective.

Applerouth, a professional testing agency, will be the course provider.

As the lowest bidder at $105,000, Applerouth will serve up to 300 students.

This decision was made recently by the Marietta Board of Education in collaboration with the Marietta High School School Governance Team — all by unanimous votes.

Funding will come from charter funds.
