SB 6846-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Finds that an effective means of increasing the number of students earning college credit in high school is to bring the college courses to the students. The legislature believes the ability to earn college credit during the regular high school day and on the high school campus may greatly expand students' willingness and ability to attempt college-credit-bearing courses.

Directs the superintendent of public instruction, the state board for community and technical colleges, and the public baccalaureate institutions to jointly develop and adopt rules governing the college in the high school program. The rules shall be written to encourage the maximum use of the program and shall not narrow or limit the enrollment options.
