Bill Summary

High school students; postsecondary opportunities; concurrent enrollment. Defines "concurrent enrollment" as the enrollment of a high school student in an associate degree-level course, creditable toward high school completion, offered on a campus, center, location, or site operated by an associate-degree-granting public institution of higher education, requires postsecondary degree attainment agreements between school boards and comprehensive community colleges to specify options for high school students to earn college credit through dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, or a combination thereof, requires the College and Career Ready Virginia Program to include the opportunity for any qualified high school student to earn college credit, including pursuant to the Passport Program or the Uniform Certificate of General Studies Program, or a full associate degree through concurrent enrollment, and provides that any student participating in concurrent enrollment courses through the College and Career Ready Virginia Program shall be counted as a high school student for the purpose of the calculation and receipt of state funding for such student.

AI Summary

This bill expands postsecondary opportunities for high school students in Virginia by defining "concurrent enrollment" as a high school student taking an associate degree-level course for high school credit at a public college, and requiring school boards to establish agreements with community colleges that outline options for students to earn college credit through dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, or a combination of both. It also mandates that the College and Career Ready Virginia Program, which aims to provide structured opportunities for high school students to earn college credit and potentially full associate degrees, must include concurrent enrollment as an option for qualified students. Furthermore, students participating in concurrent enrollment courses through this program will be counted as high school students for state funding purposes.
