What’s in it
AI summary Students participating in dual enrollment programs would no longer have a limit on how much of their instruction comes from their school district. Currently, rules require these students to get at least one-quarter of their learning through private instruction. This change allows them to take any amount of classes through their school district, including special programs for seniors.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the amount of instruction a student who is enrolled in a school district for dual enrollment purposes may receive under the school district’s academic programs. Pursuant to administrative rule adopted by the department of education, a child under dual enrollment must receive at least one-quarter of the child’s instruction by way of competent private instruction and no more than three-quarters by way of a school district’s academic programs. The bill renders the department’s administrative rule void by providing that a child who is enrolled in a school district for dual enrollment purposes may receive any amount of instruction by way of the school district’s academic programs, including offerings pursuant to Code chapter 261E (senior year plus program).
