HB2800: concurrent coursework; average daily membership
Sponsor: Representative Diaz, LD 14
Committee on Education
Overview
Stipulates a school district or charter school may include students enrolled in concurrent
coursework in average daily membership (ADM) if the student receives at least a C grade in the
community college or university course. Increases the maximum ADM for a full-time high school
student attending concurrent enrollment courses to 1.25.
History
A school district or charter school may include students enrolled in concurrent coursework when
calculating ADM if the school has received approval from the State Board of Education or the
charter school's sponsor, respectively, to offer concurrent coursework. In addition, to include
these students in ADM, the following must also apply:
1) The student earns at least three semester hours of credit per semester in the community
college or university course;
2) The student is awarded academic credit by the school district or charter school for the
concurrent coursework;
3) The concurrent coursework is at a higher level than the course taught in the 9th-12th
grades at the school district or charter school;
4) A student who is enrolled in concurrent coursework also attends at least one course
offered at the school district or charter school per semester;
5) The concurrent coursework is applicable to an established community college degree or
certificate program that is transferable to an in-state public university; and
6) The school district or charter school pays the community college or university (or
reimburses the student) for the tuition cost of the concurrent coursework.
A student generates 1/8 of an ADM for each community college or university course in which the
student earns three credits. The ADM of a full-time high school student who attends concurrent
enrollment courses is currently capped at 1.0 (A.R.S. § 15-901.07).
