HSB 642: HSB 642

What it does

This bill eliminates an eligibility requirement under the senior year plus program that requires students to have demonstrated proficiency in reading, mathematics, and science prior to participating in the program, and modifies authorization for a community college’s assessment of student readiness under the district-to-community college sharing or concurrent enrollment program. The bill includes a conforming change. Currently, a community college may require a student who applies for enrollment under a district-to-community college sharing or concurrent enrollment program to complete an initial assessment to determine the applicant’s readiness to enroll in career and technical coursework, and the community college may deny the enrollment.
