Enrolled Bill Summary

The Education Code allows a public junior college to offer courses for joint high school and college credit to students attending a public high school under an agreement with the school district that operates the school. Senate Bill 82 amends the code to allow a public junior college to offer joint credit courses to students attending a private high school in this state under a similar agreement with the organization or person operating the school. For purposes of enrollment in courses conferring joint high school and college credits, the bill classifies as a high school student any student who attends a school that is not formally organized as a high school and who is at least 16 years old.
