Program Purpose / Expands two articulated CTE pathways that currently provide credit-by-exam and builds them into full dual-credit pathways that better match regional student and industry needs: Patient Care Pathway and Public Safety Pathway
The Patient Care Pathway program will also build a home health aide laboratory
A full modular police academy will be completed under the Public Safety program, and the POST Level 1 Modular course will be created and sustained, which will allow local students to become peach officers / Purpose varies – intentional college/career pathway programs vs. “chasing FTES” / Vince Stewart, Vice Chancellor, External Relations, CCCO: “AB 288 is not a mandate, it is entirely permissive and districts (K-12 and CCD) have full discretion to establish or not establish a College and Career Access Pathways partnership. AB 288 also does not require districts to discontinue or alter existing partnership agreements. However, in order to gain the benefits of AB 288, districts must meet and implement all of the legislation’s requirements.”
AB 288 adds flexibility to existing dual enrollment regulations in three areas:
- Limit enrollment in college courses taught on HS camps to HS students
- Raise maximum units per term for special part-time admits to 15 (but no more than 4 courses)
- Provide CCAP students same enrollment priority as Middle College HS students
Reduce the number of students needing remedial math and English instruction at the community college level
Emphasis is on college and career readiness and CTE and transfer pathways
Ed Code 76004(a)”…for the purpose of offering or expanding dual enrollment opportunities for students who may not already be college bound or who are underrepresented in higher education, with the goal of developing seamless pathways from high school to community college for career technical education or preparation for transfer, improving high school graduation rates, or helping high school pupils achieve college and career readiness.” / The 10+1 applies
Requires compliance with applicable provisions of local collective bargaining agreements
Program Type (Credit, Non-Credit, or Contract Ed) / The Patient Care Pathway and Public Service Pathway programs wererepresented as contract education programs; however, program costs will be covered by the CCPT Grant (including salaries of faculty teaching closed enrollment courses; only instructional supplies for open enrollment courses), not a contracting business or agency / Credit and non-credit program / Credit program
Agreements / Subcontract agreements entered with partners (represents only one component of a CCAP Dual Enrollment Partnership Agreement) / Dual enrollment programs vary in degree of formality – MOU vs. verbal agreement / Requires district level agreement to offer Dual Enrollment in the form of CCAP Dual Enrollment Partnership Agreements
Requires that the CCAP Dual Enrollment Agreement is filed with the Chancellor’s Office and CDE before implementation
Ed Code 76004(c) (1): The CCAP partnership agreement shall outline the terms of the CCAP partnership and shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the total number of high school students to be served and the total number of full-time equivalent students projected to be claimed by the community college district for those students; the scope, nature, time, location, and listing of community college courses to be offered; and criteria to assess the ability of pupils to benefit from those courses. The CCAP partnership agreement shall also establish protocols for information sharing, in compliance with all applicable state and federal privacy laws, joint facilities use, and parental consent for high school pupils to enroll in community college courses.
Board Approval / IVC Board approved grant award / If a course is to be held on HS campus during the regular school day and if apportionment is to be claimed, and in order for the CC to confirm it has fulfilled all applicable basic conditions for claiming apportionment, the local HS board must take action on the issue in the form of an action item in order to ensure that the general public is notified that its public HS may be open to the general public, as well as the circumstances under which it may be open.
E.g., CUHSD Board took action on the following item:
“Approval to open the high school campus to the general public during the period June 13 – July 14, 2016, so that two Imperial Valley College courses (Speech 100 and Music 100), can be offered to CUHSD students during the 2016 Special Summer Program.” / Requires review and approval of CCAP Agreements in two open board meetings of both districts
K12 District Responsibilities / Determine whether a student would benefit from college level work and make recommendations
See Chancellor’s Office Updated Legal Advisory 05-01 (4-24-15)
See Chancellor’s Office Legal Opinion 16-02 (03-11-16) / Responsibilities are outlined in Ed Code 76004
IVC Responsibilities / See Chancellor’s Office Updated Legal Advisory 05-01 (4-24-15)
See Chancellor’s Office Legal Opinion 16-02 (03-11-16) / Responsibilities are outlined in Ed Code 76004 and include:
Comply with all existing state and federal reporting requirements and local collective bargaining agreements
Certify the following:
(1) A community college course offered for college credit at the partnering high school campus does not reduce access to the same course offered at the partnering community college campus.
(2) A community college course that is oversubscribed or has a waiting list shall not be offered in the CCAP partnership.
(3) Participation in a CCAP partnership is consistent with the core mission of the community colleges pursuant to Section 66010.4, and that pupils participating in a CCAP partnership will not lead to enrollment displacement of otherwise eligible adults in the community college.
(l) The CCAP partnership agreement shall certify that both the school district and community college district partners comply with local collective bargaining agreements and all state and federal reporting requirements regarding the qualifications of the teacher or faculty member teaching a CCAP partnership course offered for high school credit.
Class Schedule / Spring 2016 classes are/are not included in the schedule
Summer 2016 closed courses are not yet in the schedule
Summer 2016 open classes are in the schedule / All sections of all community college courses should be open to the general public,regardless of whether some of the students may be special part-time or special full-time pupils or whether the course is held at a high school campus. In order for a course to be truly open to the general public, it must be advertised in a manner such that anyone who might be interested in enrolling in a particular course section will know it is available and understand that enrollment is open to anyone who meets properly established prerequisites or enrollment limitations. Each course should be published in the official college catalog or addenda thereto and each section of the course should be listed in the regular schedule of classes or an addendum thereto. If the exact time or location of a course section is not known when the schedule or addenda is printed, or an instructor has not yet been assigned, the notation TBA (to be assigned) should be used.
it may sometimes happen that a course is newly approved after the most recent addendum to the catalog has been printed. Should this occur, the college should update any online catalog it may maintain and, of course, list each section of the course to be offered in the schedule of classes or an addendum thereto.
In those rare instances where the decision to offer a new course is made so late that it cannot
even be listed in the last addendum to the schedule of classes, California Code of Regulations, title 5, section 58104 still requires that the course be "reasonably well publicized" to the general public.
The Chancellor's Office advises that districts should not rely exclusively on posting course
offerings on the Internet to satisfy the requirement that the course is "reasonably well publicized." Some students still do not have ready access to the Internet and, in the event of an audit, it may be difficult for the District to demonstrate that a particular course offering was actually posted on its website at a given point in time. If districts do choose to rely on posting on the Internet, they should observe the following:
- The class must be advertised for a minimum of
- The district’s website must comply with standards for accessibility to persons with disabilities required by section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. Sec. 794d) and Government Code section 11135. If course descriptions are posted in portable Document Format (PDF) they should also be available in a more easily accessible format such as HTML, Microsoft Word, orASCII.
- The district should maintain dated hard copy printouts of the web postings on file for audit purposes for a period of at least 3 years.
- The district should maintain a list of individuals who wish to receive printed course announcements and send such announcements to those on the list, even if it does not publish and widely distribute another addendum to the schedule of courses.
- The district should still use readily available traditional methods of ensuring that students have information about classes, such as ensuring that academic counselors and the Admissions and Records Office are aware of the course, and that information is still available through print distributions such as handouts, bulletin board postings, or campus newspaper announcements.
Courses/Classes / Classes offered in Spring 2016 at CUHS and BUHS during regular school day as closed courses(?) / T558106(b)(4) allows for limiting the enrollment to a cohort of students “enrolled in one or more courses together.” This restriction can only be placed provided that “a reasonable percentage of all sections of the course do not have such restrictions.”
A course which is claimed for state apportionmentby the community college district must be open to the general public. SB 338 merely emphasized this point by amending Education Code section 76002 so that it now provides that if a course is held on a high school campus, "the class may not be held during the time the campus is closed to the general public, as defined by the governing board of the school district." Thus, the issue is when the high school campus is specifically closed to the general public, rather than whether or not high school classes are offered during the same time period. However, it must be emphasized that this restriction only applies if state apportionment is to be claimed for the class. If the class is conducted as contract education and paid for by the K-12 school district, then it may be housed at the high school campus and be held at any time of day, regardless of whether or not the campus is open to the general public.
If a course is to be held on high school campus during the regular school day and if
apportionment is to be claimed, the district will need to confirm that it has fulfilled all applicable basic conditions for claiming state apportionment (Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 5, § 58000 et seq.), as well as the specific eligibility criteria for claiming FTES generated by special admit students. (Ed. Code § 76002) As noted above, this specific eligibility criteria includes a requirement that the course not be conducted when the high school campus is specifically closed to the general public, which must be defined by the school governing board of the school district during a regularly scheduled board meeting. (Ed. Code §76002(a)(3).) To meet the requirement that the governing board of the school district addresses this issue, the local school board must take action on the issue in the form of an action item. We believe this requirement is present in order to ensure that the general public is notified that its public high school may be open to the general public, as well as of the circumstances under which it may be open. / A CCD shall not provide physical education courses to HS students “or any other course opportunities that do not assist in the attainment of at least one of the goals listed in subdivision (a).”
