Delaware County Community College will hold a dual-enrollment summit and conference on Aug. 15 featuring presentations from local school leaders and college staff, William Penn board liaison Mister Wright told directors at the July 28 meeting. The free half-day event will include a keynote and breakout sessions on dual-enrollment partnerships and classroom-based college-start programming.

Why it matters: Dual-enrollment programs can give high-school students access to college courses and credits; district leaders said the event could help the district expand or refine dual-enrollment pathways. Mister Wright identified district staff who would participate and said he would confirm registration availability for board members.

Supporting details: The summit runs 8:30 a.m. to noon at Delaware County Community College and will include speakers from local districts, college leaders and high-school administrators; a district high-school assistant principal was listed as a planned participant. Mister Wright said he would check whether the summit still had open registration and notify the board.

Ending: The liaison said he would attempt to attend and to circulate registration details to board members once he confirms availability.
