What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill excludes certain college-level courses offered to high school pupils enrolled in a public school from the Early College Credit Program.
Under the ECCP, a high school pupil, including a high school pupil attending a private school, may enroll in an institution of higher education for the purpose of taking one or more nonsectarian courses. Also under the ECCP, “institution of higher education” is defined to mean an institution within the University of Wisconsin System, a tribally controlled college, and a private, nonprofit institution of higher education located in this state. Under the ECCP, a pupil may take the course to earn high school credit or postsecondary credit or both. The cost of tuition for each course is divided among the Department of Workforce Development, the school board of the pupil's school or the governing body of the private school the pupil attends, and the pupil. The share that each responsible party pays is dependent on whether the course is taken for high school credit or postsecondary credit and whether a course similar to the course taken at the institution of higher education is comparable to a course offered by the school board or private school.
