1 1 Section 1. Section 282.26, Code 1999, is amended to read
1 2 as follows:
1 3 282.26 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ATTENDING ADVANCED COURSES.
1 4 1. The board of any community college may, by mutual
1 5 agreement with any college or university, permit any specially
1 6 qualified high school student to attend advanced courses of
1 7 academic instruction at the college or university.
1 8 The state board of regents and the state board of education
1 9 may by rule permit such students to attend any institution of
1 10 higher learning under their jurisdiction. Credit earned in
1 11 any such course at a college or university may be applied
1 12 toward credit for high school graduation. Public school funds
1 13 shall not be expended for payment of tuition or other costs
1 14 for such attendance at a college or university, unless the
1 15 payment is expressly permitted or required by law.
1 16 The foregoing provisions shall also apply to colleges and
1 17 universities in adjacent states when the institutions are
1 18 located nearer to the homes or schools of the school district
1 19 than the closest college or university within the state.
1 20 2. The board of directors of a school district may enter
1 21 into a contract with a community college as defined in section
1 22 260C.2, an institution of higher learning under the control of
1 23 the state board of regents, or an accredited private
1 24 institution as defined in section 261.9, for instruction to be
1 25 provided to high school students at a secondary school
1 26 attendance center by instructional staff employed by the
1 27 postsecondary institution, or for instruction via the Iowa
1 28 communications network by instructional staff employed by the
1 29 postsecondary institution. Secondary school students who
1 30 successfully complete postsecondary-level instruction through
1 31 such an arrangement shall receive high school credit and may
1 32 also receive college credit if the student enrolls in and is
1 33 accepted by the postsecondary institution and pays a tuition
1 34 amount set by the postsecondary institution. If a
1 35 postsecondary institution accepts a student for enrollment in
2 1 accordance with this section, the postsecondary institution
2 2 shall send written notice to the student listing the course,
2 3 the clock hours the student will be attending the course, and
2 4 the number of hours of postsecondary academic or vocational-
2 5 technical credit that the student will receive from the
2 6 postsecondary institution upon successful completion of the
2 7 course. A student who receives postsecondary academic or
2 8 vocational-technical credit from a community college in
2 9 accordance with this section shall not be included in the
2 10 full-time equivalent enrollment of the community college for
2 11 the purpose of computing general aid to the community college.
2 12 The provisions of chapter 261C shall not apply to instruction
2 13 provided in accordance with this subsection.
2 14 EXPLANATION
2 15 This bill permits the board of directors of a school
2 16 district to enter into a contract with a community college,
2 17 regents university, or an accredited private institution, for
2 18 instruction to be provided to high school students at a
2 19 secondary school attendance center by instructional staff
2 20 employed by the postsecondary institution, or for instruction
2 21 via the Iowa communications network by instructional staff
2 22 employed by the postsecondary institution.
2 23 Secondary school students who successfully complete
2 24 postsecondary-level instruction through the arrangement shall
2 25 receive high school credit and may also receive college credit
2 26 if the student enrolls in and is accepted by the postsecondary
2 27 institution and pays a tuition amount set by the postsecondary
2 28 institution. If a postsecondary institution accepts a student
2 29 for enrollment in accordance with this section, the
2 30 postsecondary institution shall send written notice to the
2 31 student listing the course, the clock hours the student will
2 32 be attending the course, and the number of hours of
2 33 postsecondary academic or vocational-technical credit that the
2 34 student will receive from the postsecondary institution upon
2 35 successful completion of the course.
