Board approves CCAP dual‑enrollment pact with Delta College for select in‑person classes

The board approved a College and Career Access Pathway (CCAP) agreement with Delta College to offer dual‑enrollment courses on the Mountain House High School campus. Staff explained the agreement allows qualified high‑school teachers to teach courses that earn both high‑school and Delta College credit; staff described the classes as "technically a Delta class," meaning the credits transfer as college credit if students pass.

Trustees asked detailed questions about equivalency to AP classes, counselor scheduling, teacher qualifications, pay/stipends from Delta College for teachers, and student selection. Trustee discussion focused on capacity (interest surveys already distributed), whether early‑college students would be able to switch from online Delta sections to these in-person offerings, and the timeline for finalizing staffing. Deputy Superintendent Harrison said an interest survey has already indicated demand and staff will follow up with qualified students; trustees urged patience as operational kinks are worked out.

Trustees expressed broad support for offering additional in-person college-credit opportunities, noting potential advantages over AP (college credit for passing the course vs. AP exam thresholds) and the benefit to students who prefer in-person instruction.
