Providing requirements for agreements between a school district and a postsecondary educational institution for the provision of postsecondary courses taught in secondary schools.
SB 341 requires community colleges and technical colleges to follow specific financial rules when partnering with school districts to offer college courses in high schools. Starting July 1, 2026, these institutions must directly pay for instructional materials not provided by schools, pay school districts a set teaching fee (based on credit hours) that must go to the teacher as a salary supplement, and treat site coordinators as contractors with direct payment. The bill affects school districts, high school teachers, and community/technical colleges by standardizing payment structures for these dual-enrollment courses. It sets clear "standard amounts" for teaching and coordination services, adjusted annually for inflation, and applies to all new or renegotiated agreements after 2026. Existing agreements before that date remain unaffected.

MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify that new agreements between school districts and postsecondary institutions must follow the bill's requirements, while explicitly preserving existing agreements made before July 1, 2026. The amendment also extends these protections to include negotiated agreements involving faculty members and adds a specific exemption for accredited independent institutions.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to cover negotiated agreements with faculty and to explicitly exclude accredited independent institutions from its requirements.
REQUIREMENT
The requirement for future agreements to conform to the bill was broadened to include 'negotiated agreements' involving faculty, whereas the original text only mentioned general agreements between the district and institution.
ELIGIBILITY
A new exemption was added stating that accredited independent institutions are not subject to the requirements of this section.
TIMELINE
The effective date for new agreements was clarified to be July 1, 2026, ensuring that any agreements entered into or renegotiated on or after this date must comply with the new rules.
