House Bill 1051 amends the Education Code to revise provisions relating to an adult education program under an adult high school diploma and industry certification charter school program. The bill removes references designating such a program as a pilot program, changes the eligibility criteria, and adds requirements for the program to use a certain instructional model and to provide certain student support services. The bill provides for the expansion of the program in a state fiscal year in which appropriations are made for that purpose.
House Bill 1051 sets out Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) reporting requirements regarding certain students enrolled in a high school equivalency program, dropout recovery school, or qualifying adult education program, but excludes such students who were not reported as dropouts before such enrollment from certain computations of dropout and completion rates that are used for purposes of public school accountability.
