Board formalizes IU dual-credit materials agreement and student book fees
Summary
The board approved an agreement with Indiana University to formalize course materials for IUACP dual-credit courses; the district will purchase materials and charge students for specialized books per its fee schedule.
The Greater Clark County School Board of Trustees approved an agreement with Indiana University on Tuesday to formalize course materials for the IUACP dual-credit program and the district’s practice of charging students for specialized books.
A staff presenter told the board the agreement formalizes the materials that Indiana University provides for dual-credit courses, that the district pays IU for those materials, and that the district charges students for specialized books under its fee schedule. The presenter said the state had previously taken a position that limited charging fees, and the agreement reflects a transition that allows the district to charge for specialized books.
A board member moved to approve the agreement; another board member seconded the motion. The board approved the agreement by voice vote. The meeting discussion did not include a dollar amount for the district’s payment to Indiana University or the per-student fee charged for the books.
The board described the action as an administrative contract approval to formalize an existing practice; no amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting.
