Bill > A3275

This bill mandates that school districts with high schools must establish dual enrollment agreements with colleges or universities, whereas current law only permits them to do so. A dual enrollment agreement allows high school students to take college-level courses for credit towards both high school graduation and a college degree or career certificate, either on the college campus or at the high school. The bill specifies that these agreements must detail the available courses, student eligibility criteria (ensuring no student is excluded due to inability to pay), the process for opting into the program, and a guarantee that courses taught at the high school are as rigorous as those taught at the college. It also requires informing students and their parents about these opportunities and includes other provisions deemed necessary by educational officials.
