Board hears proposal for West Virginia University dual-enrollment partnership
Summary
Staff described a proposed dual-enrollment partnership with West Virginia University providing a broad suite of online courses and support for a modest cost (staff cited about $75 per credit out-of-state).
Mr. Cole introduced a proposed dual-enrollment or dual-credit pathway with West Virginia University, describing it as a comprehensive, all-encompassing option for students with institutional supports for high-school learners and a per-credit cost staff estimated at $75 for out-of-state tuition ($225 for a typical three-credit course). Cole said the program includes staff dedicated to supporting dual-enrollment students and a wide breadth of course options, making it more robust than some previously used vendor options such as VHS virtual courses.
Board members asked clarifying questions about prior vendor programs and instructor certification; Mr. Cole and other staff said the district previously used VHS and MVP arrangements, and that certification concerns with the IU partnership prompted a search for more rigorous, state-compliant alternatives. The item was presented for discussion and early consideration; no adoption vote was recorded at the meeting.
