Existing law authorizes a community college district to enter into a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership with the governing board of a school district, a county office of education, or the governing body of a charter school 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.
This bill would establish the Dual Enrollment Framework Task Force under the jurisdiction of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges for purposes of developing recommendations for the establishment and implementation of a statewide dual enrollment framework designed to provide universal access to dual enrollment courses to all public high school pupils, as provided. The bill would require the task force, in developing its recommendations, to do certain things, including, among others, reviewing existing laws, policies, and efforts in California and other states on dual enrollment, course choice, pupil remediation, articulation and transfer, and transition courses, and identifying various items relating to dual enrollment, including, among other things, a process to accomplish specified dual enrollment-related policies. The bill would require the Chancellor and the Superintendent to submit the task force's recommendations to certain legislative committees within one year of the task force's first meeting, as provided.
