Board approves equal quality points for dual-enrollment and AP courses at Hewitt‑Trussville High
Summary
The board adopted a recommendation to assign the same quality point for dual-enrollment courses as for Advanced Placement courses at Hewitt‑Trussville High School for the 2026‑27 curriculum guide, following a small committee review and unanimous board vote.
The Trussville City Schools Board of Education voted to adopt an update to the Hewitt‑Trussville High School curriculum guide that assigns the same quality point to dual‑enrollment courses as to Advanced Placement courses.
The recommendation originated with a small committee that included board members Jason Daniel and Kim DeShazo and members of school staff. During the discussion board members said the change reflected deliberation over academic equity between dual‑enrollment and AP offerings. "I learned a lot through it. I think it's the right thing to do at this point," Jason Daniel said during the discussion.
After debate and a motion to adopt, the board approved the curriculum guide change by voice vote. The update will appear in the 2026‑27 course catalog as the board finalizes curriculum documents ahead of the new school year.
