In plain language

This bill expands college credit opportunities for high school students through concurrent enrollment.

The bill defines concurrent enrollment for high school students in college-level courses and requires agreements between school boards and community colleges. It ensures that students can earn college credit while still in high school.

What this means for you
  • Schools: Schools must partner with community colleges to offer these concurrent enrollment options to their students.
  • Families: This provides families with more educational opportunities for their children, potentially reducing future college costs.
  • Students: This means you can earn college credit while still in high school, helping you get ahead academically.
