Board approves interlocal agreement with UT Austin to expand concurrent enrollment offerings
Summary
Joshua ISD approved an interlocal agreement with the University of Texas at Austin that allows high school students to enroll in college courses for concurrent credit under the district’s RM Grants program.
The Joshua Independent School District Board approved an interlocal agreement with the University of Texas at Austin to continue the district’s RM Grants concurrent‑enrollment program, enabling high school students to take college courses for both high school and college credit.
District staff described the agreement as a partnership that allows students to enroll in university courses and, upon successful completion, earn concurrent college and high school credits. The agreement was presented as part of the district’s college‑and‑career programming and recommended for approval.
A board member moved to approve the interlocal agreement and another member seconded; the motion passed on the board floor. The board did not amend the agreement or discuss specific course lists, tuition waivers or credit transfer mechanics during the public portion of the meeting.
Implementation will follow the terms of the interlocal agreement and existing district procedures for dual/concurrent enrollment; staff will coordinate course offerings and enrollment processes with UT Austin in the months before the next school year.
