5.0223.01 CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT Issue Date: 4/10/97
The apparent intents of Senate Bill 228 are: 1. To provide for a meaningful secondary education; 2. To eliminate contrived barriers to graduation; 3. To provide a bridge to higher education (applied technology or academic); 4. To save money for students and their parents and for the state.
In order for the secondary educational years in school to be meaningful, it must be the result of careful planning by the student, the parents, and the school. This planning is done when the individual Student Education Occupation Plan (SEOP) is prepared each year. In the SEOP meeting, the student reviews interests and abilities, past school performance and other important considerations, and makes a tentative career choice. This choice then directs the student to a particular “track” and “major” which makes the best training available through the secondary grades so that the student is either job-ready or is prepared to enter a post-high school training institution or program which will lead to the selected career. The school’s goal is that the student completes the “track” and “major” agreed to in the SEOP. This should be considered the student’s obligation before graduating. Changes in the student’s SEOP should be made when a new career choice is made. In the concurrent enrollment program, secondary students may enroll in college courses and receive both high school and college credit. Senior students may register for a maximum of 45 quarter hours of college credit. Simply completing the minimum number of credits required for a high school diploma does not certify that the high school has completed its responsibility, or that the student has met obligations relative to the SEOP. District students may be granted a full-time concurrent enrollment opportunity, if the following requirements are met: 1. They have met the graduation requirements set by the State Board of Education.
