Bill > HB2874

This bill requires that starting in the 2025-2026 school year, students in 11th or 12th grade who have a "free" or "teacher-assistant" period during their school day must be informed about available online college course opportunities. The notification can be delivered in two potential ways: either through a verbal or written notice directly from a teacher or through a broader school-wide or county-wide announcement. The goal of this legislation appears to be ensuring that students with unscheduled periods are made aware of additional educational opportunities that could help them get a head start on college coursework or explore potential academic interests during time that might otherwise be unproductive. By mandating these notifications, the bill aims to provide students with more educational options and potentially support their future academic and career preparation during their high school years.
