Introduced by: Linda T. (Toddy) Puller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Advanced External Diploma Grants Program. Establishes the Advanced External Diploma Grants Program and Fund, from such funds as may be appropriated or received, to be administered by the Board of Education, to provide grants to public high schools graduating students earning eligible advanced external diplomas, such as the International Baccalaureate and other advanced external diplomas approved by the Board. The Board is to establish procedures for determining amounts for grants to public high schools. The grants are to be calculated on a per-student basis and may be used for professional development and training, textbooks and supplies for such advanced external diplomas, any relevant testing fees, or other related educational initiatives or expenses approved by the Board. The per-student amount of any grant awarded from the Fund in any year may not exceed $300. Under current law the Board of Education, in recognizing educational performance in school divisions, is to consider special school division accomplishments, such as numbers of dual enrollments and students in Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses, and participation in academic year Governor's Schools. This bill is identical to HB 471.
