Bill > HB0007

This bill modifies Wyoming's existing education law to require school district boards of trustees to ensure high school students have access to at least twelve (12) post-secondary credit hours during grades 9-12. Post-secondary credit hours are college-level courses that can be taken while still in high school, typically through programs like dual enrollment or concurrent enrollment. The bill amends the current statute governing agreements between school districts and post-secondary education institutions, such as the University of Wyoming and community colleges, to explicitly mandate this minimum credit hour accessibility. By specifying twelve credit hours, the legislation aims to expand educational opportunities for high school students by providing a clear benchmark for accessing college-level coursework. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving school districts time to prepare and implement the new requirement.
