Pupil instruction: dual enrollment programs: regional occupational centers or programs: migrant education: migrant regions.
- Expands dual enrollment programs by allowing regional occupational centers to establish middle college high schools.
- Authorizes up to $250,000 in grants for starting middle college high schools and $100,000 for dual enrollment partnerships.
- Redefines migrant education regions to include more types of educational agencies and partnerships.
- Requires detailed annual reporting on dual enrollment programs including student demographics and course completion rates.
The California Assembly Committee on Education proposes expanding dual enrollment opportunities and migrant education services through amendments that authorize regional occupational centers to establish middle college high schools and participate in College and Career Access Pathways partnerships. The legislation modifies existing programs to increase access for underrepresented students while maintaining current quality standards and oversight mechanisms.
The bill enables regional occupational centers and programs to create middle college high schools on community college campuses and enter into formal partnerships focused on career technical education and college preparation. These programs must maintain reduced student-teacher ratios, provide flexible scheduling for internships and community service, and offer experiential learning opportunities. The Department of Education and California Community Colleges will collaborate with these centers to support both new and existing middle college programs.
Under the amended competitive grant program, regional occupational centers operated by county offices of education or joint powers authorities become eligible to apply for funding to establish dual enrollment initiatives. The legislation also updates the definition of migrant education regions to include combinations of county offices, school districts, and nonprofit agencies, allowing for more diverse operating structures to serve migrant students. All changes take effect immediately upon enactment to ensure timely implementation of these expanded educational pathways.
The amendments maintain existing accountability measures, requiring detailed annual reporting on student participation, course completion rates, and program outcomes. Partnership agreements must continue certifying instructor qualifications and demonstrating that dual enrollment offerings do not displace regular community college courses or faculty. These provisions preserve program quality while broadening institutional participation to serve more California students.
