Bill > SB784

This bill amends Oregon Revised Statute 340.310 to expand the statewide standards for dual credit programs developed by the Higher Education Coordinating Commission. Specifically, the bill adds new requirements for dual credit programs in agriculture, forestry, and natural resources. The changes include mandating that career and technical student organizations related to agriculture and natural resources work together to determine program quality and ensure alignment of course content, objectives, and outcomes. The bill maintains the existing provisions that allow students in grades 9-12 to earn both high school and college credits for completing specific courses, and requires schools to submit annual reports on the academic performance of students in dual credit programs. By explicitly including agriculture and natural resources programs, the bill aims to broaden the scope of dual credit opportunities and ensure comprehensive quality control across these specialized educational pathways.
