SB 5243: H.S. academic acceleration

Establishing policies to support academic acceleration for high school students.

Summary

  • Encourages school districts to adopt a policy to automatically enroll a student who meets the standard on the high school state assessments or the Preliminary SAT in the next most rigorous advanced course in that subject, with the objective that students eventually enroll in dual credit courses.
  • Provides an incentive award to high schools based on student performance in specified dual credit courses, if funding is appropriated.
  • Creates a program to allocate one-time grants to high schools on a competitive basis to expand availability of dual credit courses, if funding is appropriated.
