Sets forth provisions concerning policies to protect the academic standing of students who are not successful in dual credit courses, standards that institutions of higher learning must meet if offering dual credit courses, oversight and review of dual credit programs, and a statewide longitudinal data system to identify high school students who participate in dual credit courses and track their success in high school and postsecondary education.House Committee Amendment No. 1 Deletes language that provides that institutions may adopt policies to protect the academic standing of students who are not successful in dual credit courses, including, but not limited to, options for switching to traditional high school course credit. Provides that instructors teaching credit-bearing college-level courses for dual credit must meet the same academic credential requirements as faculty teaching on campus and need not meet certification requirements set out specified provisions. Provides that the State Board of Education, the Illinois Community College Board, and the Board of Higher Education shall include information regarding student participation and performance in dual credit programs and their success in postsecondary education in a statewide longitudinal data system. 2/11/2009HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
