Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to education; allowing postsecondary enrollment in summer courses; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.09, subdivision 9.

AI Summary

This bill amends Minnesota's existing postsecondary enrollment options law to explicitly require postsecondary institutions to allow high school students (in grades 10, 11, and 12) to enroll in summer courses, consistent with the institution's existing policies for summer course enrollment. The bill adds a new subsection (f) to the current statute, which already governs how high school students can take courses at colleges and universities. Previously, the law outlined priorities and restrictions for secondary students taking postsecondary courses during the regular academic year, such as giving priority to postsecondary students, not displacing existing students, and limiting enrollment in remedial courses. The new provision ensures that summer course opportunities are also available to high school students under the same general guidelines that apply to regular-term course enrollment, potentially expanding educational opportunities for secondary students to earn college credits during summer sessions.
