Senate Bill 282 amends the Education Code to require each school district annually to notify the parent of each district student in grade nine or above of the availability of programs in the district that allow a student to earn college credit, including advanced placement, dual credit, joint high school and college credit, and international baccalaureate programs. A district may provide the required notification on its Internet website, but the notification must include the offering entity's name and contact information. The bill also requires a counselor to provide this information to each student and the student's parent or guardian during the first school year the student is enrolled in a high school or at the high school level in an open-enrollment charter school and again during the student's senior year.
