Committee flags need to change dual-enrollment credit cap for Gifted and Talented students
Summary
Committee discussion noted policy 343.6 caps district-paid college credits at 18; members said the cap may need to be changed if Gifted and Talented students require additional college credits and emphasized that identified G/T students should not be charged for qualifying program elements.
At the April 8 Policy Committee meeting, trustees noted that the district's dual-enrollment policy (343.6) currently limits district-paid college credits to 18 and discussed the possibility of modifying that cap for Gifted and Talented students whose programs require additional credits. The minutes record the committee's position that "a student that has been identified for the Gifted and Talented program cannot be charged for the program."
No specific new credit limit or funding source was decided; committee members directed that the policy be reviewed as part of the upcoming May Policy Committee meeting so staff and trustees can consider how to cover any additional credits required by a student's G/T plan. The committee did not advance any changes for a first reading in April.
