Board revises dual-credit handbook; parents to pay tuition up front with conditional reimbursement
Summary
Hale Center ISD revised its dual-credit policy so parents pay 100% of tuition up front to South Plains College; the district will reimburse 75% if the student earns a 2.85 GPA or higher. Students who drop a class are not eligible for reimbursement.
At its Aug. 12 meeting, the Hale Center ISD board approved revisions to the district Dual Credit Handbook for 2024–25. The major change requires parents to pay 100% of tuition costs up front to South Plains College (payment plans may be offered); HCISD will reimburse 75% of tuition if the student's GPA is 2.85 or above. The motion was made by Troy McGann and passed 6–0.
The minutes record that students who drop a dual-credit class will not be reimbursed. The handbook also notes a potential alternative for qualifying students, referencing the FAST program, but the minutes do not specify eligibility criteria or how the payment plan will be administered.
