Board approves 2025–26 dual‑credit partnership and Early College MOU with Southwest Texas College
Summary
Trustees approved a 2025–26 dual credit partnership and a memorandum of understanding with Southwest Texas College to continue dual‑credit offerings, Early College High School and P‑TECH pathways; presenters said most dual‑credit classes use district teachers so students incur no tuition.
At the July 15 special call meeting, the San Felipe‑Del Rio CISD Board of Trustees approved a 2025–26 dual‑credit partnership agreement and a memorandum of understanding with Southwest Texas College to continue Early College High School and P‑TECH pathways.
Jane Villapia presented the dual‑credit agreement as the operational plan for delivering dual credit courses to Del Rio High School students in 2025–26. Villapia explained the types of courses eligible for dual credit and told trustees that Southwest Texas College will continue to offer dual credit at a reduced cost for students who are not eligible for other fee waivers. On the tuition question, presenters explained that when the college provides an instructor the class has no tuition cost for students and that in ‘‘just about 100% of the cases, we provide teachers from the district, so there’s no cost.’’
Villapia also presented a memorandum of understanding for Early College High School and P‑TECH pathways running 08/01/2025–07/31/2026. Administration said the MOU outlines duties for both the district and Southwest Texas College and noted state and other resources have historically supported the program; presenters said federal funds have not been used in prior years for early‑college tuition.
Both the dual‑credit agreement and the Early College MOU were recommended by administration and approved by unanimous board motions.
