Senate Bill 1335 Summary

• Amends funding and average daily membership (ADM) calculations for career technical education districts (CTEDs) to allow students generating ADM based on instructional hours rather than fixed rates.

• Allows full-time CTED students enrolled in 600+ hours of instruction to generate 1.0 ADM; students with 150-599 hours generate 0.25-0.75 ADM based on hour ranges.

• Modifies dual enrollment requirements to allow homeschooled students full participation in community college courses for dual high school and college credit.

• Changes dual enrollment admission criteria to allow community colleges to waive class status requirements (junior/senior status) for up to 25% of enrolled students if they meet course prerequisites and established written criteria.

• Applies retroactively to May 31, 2015, affecting how CTEDs calculate student funding based on actual instructional hours delivered.
