Bill > SB400

This bill amends the "Move on When Ready Act" in Georgia, which allows high school students to take college-level dual credit courses. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) The Office of Student Achievement (now referred to as the "commission") is required to establish participation targets, including for underrepresented student groups, and to annually measure and evaluate the program. 2) The commission must provide an annual report to the Governor and General Assembly that includes data and analysis on participation rates, college enrollment and graduation rates, the impact on time to complete a college degree, factors leading to dropped or failed dual credit courses, and measures of meeting program objectives and targets. 3) The commission, Department of Education, postsecondary institutions, and local school boards are required to cooperate and provide data to facilitate the program's monitoring and evaluation. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability for the dual credit program, with a focus on expanding access and improving outcomes, particularly for underserved student populations.
