Introduced
by
To exclude students who have been enrolled in high school for more than four school years from a program that allows dual enrollment in community colleges for qualified high school students. The bill provides exceptions for students who missed a lot of school for legitimate reasons. Note: A recent Attorney General opinion determined that as long as a fifth-year high school student is taking one class at a high school, the school district gets the entire annual per-pupil foundation grant for the student, and under the dual enrollment law the school district pays the student’s tuition at a state college.

With the recommendation that the substitute (S-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that also requires the Department of Labor and Economic Growth to promulgate rules establishing criteria and procedures under which a student who had been enrolled for more than four years but not more than five years could be considered an eligible student. The rules would have to address special circumstances under which a student could qualify under this provision, and could limit the number of courses in which a student could enroll.
