Board reviews annual early‑college agreement, staff affirms IEP protections in dual enrollment
Summary
Staff presented the annual Daytona State College early‑college agreement; board members asked whether students’ IEPs remain in effect in college courses and staff said federal protections continue though processes may look different in higher education settings.
District staff presented the 2025–26 Daytona State College early‑college agreement and described it as the district’s annual, statutorily required agreement that enables students to take college coursework while enrolled in the district.
A board member asked how Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) function in dual‑enrollment settings. Staff answered that IEPs remain federal protections for students but that accommodations and processes at colleges can look different; colleges typically assign accessibility officers and explain local processes to families so protections persist even as delivery or procedures change.
The presenter said the district uses dual‑enrollment and dual‑credit options extensively and that hundreds of students participate annually. The board did not take a recorded formal vote on the item during this meeting; a member said to "say forward," indicating the presenter should proceed with the standard submission process to state authorities.
Next steps: staff will continue required district‑ and state‑level approvals for the agreement and will provide clarifications to families on how accommodations are maintained when students take college courses.
