Bill Summary

Authorizes Florida College System institution or school district to report student as enrolled in adult education program for purposes of funding if student is coenrolled in K-12 education program & adult education program; authorizes Florida College System institution or school district to report student for funding for up to two courses if student is coenrolled in core program areas & meets certain additional criteria.

AI Summary

This bill allows Florida College System institutions and school districts to receive funding for students who are simultaneously enrolled in both K-12 education programs and adult education programs, meaning these students can be counted for funding purposes in adult education even if they are still in K-12. It also permits these institutions and districts to receive funding for up to two courses for students who are coenrolled in core program areas for credit recovery or to prevent them from dropping out, provided the student doesn't have a history of excessive absences, truancy, or disruptive behavior. The bill clarifies that the Department of Education will create a list of courses that qualify as "core courses" for this coenrollment provision, and these students will be exempt from paying certain tuition fees for adult general education programs.
