House Bill 2994 amends the Education Code to require contact hours attributable to the enrollment of a student in a workforce continuing education course offered by a public junior college to be included in the contact hours used to determine the college's proportionate share of state formula funding, regardless of whether the college waives all or part of the tuition or fees for the course. The bill authorizes a public junior college to offer, or to enter into an agreement with a public school district, organization, or other person that operates a high school to offer, certain workforce continuing education courses to a person enrolled in high school, subject to certain eligibility criteria. The bill sets out the circumstances in which a public junior college may waive all or part of the tuition or fees charged to a student for a workforce continuing education course.
