Program Integrity & Credit Transfer		HB1512Signed by the Governor - 3.18.25

This bill amends existing law relating to concurrent enrollment. The bill repeals the Arkansas Concurrent Challenge Scholarship program, which provided scholarships for students enrolled in endorsed concurrent enrollment courses or certificate programs. The bill then creates the ACCESS to Acceleration Scholarship Program which provides scholarships to eligible students (in grades 10-12 at public high schools) who are enrolled in a concurrent credit course, where the student is eligible to enroll in that course under statute. Scholarship funds may not be used for courses at vocational centers that are reimbursable under statute, nor are students eligible for schools for concurrent credit courses that are funded under other areas of the law. Students may receive $65 per concurrent credit course hour in which the student is enrolled, for a maximum of 15 concurrent credit course hours per semester. The bill amends existing law relating to teacher skills and training and specifies that an instructor of an accelerated learning or concurrent credit course must meet the requirements of the institution of higher education that is offering the course or accreditation organization authorized under the law (existing law required the educator to have no less than a master's degree that includes at least 18 hours of completed coursework in the subject area o the endorsed concurrent enrollment course). Existing law required students to be admitted to institutions of higher education as nondegree or noncertificate seeking students to be eligible to enroll in a concurrent enrollment course - amendments would eliminate the requirement that the student be admitted as a nondegree or noncertificate student - the student need only be admitted by the institution of higher education. Amendments specify, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year and each following year, the tuition rate for a concurrent credit course. Further, the tuition must apply uniformly to all participating eligible state-supported institutions of higher education located in the state. The amendments provide that students and parents are not responsible for tuition, fees, or materials for participating in a concurrent credit course.

Program Integrity & Credit Transfer		HB217Signed by the Governor - 4.28.25This bill amends existing law relating to the Dual Achievement Program - this bill would extend the program for an additional 5 years and provides for updated eligibility requirements for the program, as well as Quality Basic Education (QBE) funding and accountability assessments. For each eligible student enrolled in the program on or after July 1, 2026, the State Board of Education must pay to the state board an amount not less than a proportional share of QBE formula earnings, QBE grants, and federal funds earned by the resident school system for such eligible student. The Dual Achievement Program allows eligible students who have withdrawn from high school to enroll in a unit of the technical college system to participate in an academic and technical education and training program which, upon successful completion, allows the student to earn a high school diploma while also earning a technical college associate degree, a technical college diploma, or technical college certificates of credit in specific career pathways.

The bill notes an additional purpose for the Dual Credit Quality Act is to provide meaningful educational opportunities that support student success and ensure dual credit is used as a strategic tool for closing opportunity gaps to increase postsecondary completion. Existing law provides that community college districts must enter into a partnership agreement with the school district to offer dual credit when requested - amendments would require the school district and community college to designate a liaison and begin negotiations to reach a partnership agreement no later than 60 calendar days after initial request. Existing law requires evaluations of course content, delivery, and rigor by community colleges to ensure quality, rigorous college credit coursework - amendments would require evaluations to be completed within the same school year that the course is taught. This bill provides that courses taught by a high school instructor at the high school may be subject to district policies regarding maximum class enrollment, student technology access and usage, and others. If the school district weighs AP and IB courses, dual credit courses must receive the same weight, among other edits.

This also requires a partnership agreement to provide for a Dual Credit Qualifications Committee to develop a Dual Credit Instructor Qualification Framework.
