Equitable Access to Dual Enrollment Advances

Dual enrollment allows students to take college level courses while they are still in high school. Usually these courses are taken on the college or university campus during the normal school day. Under current law, public school students and homeschool students have free, unencumbered access to dual enrollment courses. Private school students, however, have very limited access to dual enrollment. SB 52 (Rodrigues, R.) / HB 281 (Duggan) establish the Dual Enrollment Scholarship Program, providing access to dual enrollment courses for all Florida students. Both bills advanced through committees this week and are strongly supported by the FCCB.
