Summary

Joint Budget Committee. Under current law, the accelerating
students through concurrent enrollment (ASCENT) program is available
to all qualified students who are designated to participate by their local
education provider. The bill:
  • Starting in the 2025-26 state fiscal year, caps the number of
qualified students who participate in the ASCENT program
at the number of qualified students who participated in the
ASCENT program in the 2024-25 state fiscal year; and
  • Creates additional eligibility requirements to participate in
the ASCENT program.
The bill requires the department of education to submit a report to
the education committees of the house and the senate and the joint budget
committee regarding the ASCENT program.
Under current law, the district's total program formula includes
funding for a district's extended high school pupil enrollment, determined
by the district's number of pupils who are concurrently enrolled in a
postsecondary course multiplied by a dollar amount that annually
increases. Starting in the 2024-25 state fiscal year, the bill amends the
district's extended high school funding formula to cap the dollar amount
that is multiplied by the district's ASCENT program students within the
district's extended high school funding formula.
