Bill Summary
This bill relates to the district-to-community college sharing or concurrent enrollment program, which is established under Code section 261E.8 and allows high school students to enroll in eligible nonsectarian courses at or through community colleges and earn college credits. The bill provides that if a student fails a community college-offered class, or a class taught by a community college-employed instructor, the student’s parent or guardian or the student are required, upon the request of the school district or accredited nonpublic school through which the student is accessing the program, to pay to the school an amount equal to the amount the school paid to the community college pursuant to the contract entered into under Code section 261E.8 that is directly associated with the student’s participation in the community college-offered class or the class taught by a community college-employed instructor.
AI Summary
This bill amends the district-to-community college sharing or concurrent enrollment program, which allows high school students to earn college credits by taking courses at community colleges. Specifically, if a student fails a community college course or a course taught by a community college instructor, the student or their parent/guardian will be required to reimburse the school district or accredited nonpublic school for the costs the school incurred with the community college for that student's participation in the course, if the school requests it. This provision aims to ensure financial responsibility for students who do not successfully complete these dual-enrollment courses.
