Bill > SB22

This bill amends the Dual Credit Scholarship Program in Kentucky by defining "eligible high school apprentice" as a student enrolled in an "eligible registered teacher apprenticeship program," which is a program offered by a school district in partnership with colleges to prepare future teachers for certification and employment. It expands the Dual Credit Scholarship Program to include these teacher apprenticeship programs, establishing specific eligibility and participation requirements for both students and school districts. Students in these programs can now receive up to twenty dual credit courses, with a limit of eight per academic year, to help them pursue teacher certification. The bill also outlines conditions for apprentices who withdraw or fail to meet academic criteria, including potential repayment obligations for scholarships received. Furthermore, it details requirements for school districts to be approved for offering these teacher apprenticeship programs, emphasizing partnerships with postsecondary institutions and pathways to full-time teaching positions.
