SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Standardized, Uniform, and Comprehensive Collaborative Exchange School Support (SUCCESS) Program; development and implementation. Requires the Department of Education, the State Board for Community Colleges, and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia to develop a plan to establish and implement the Standardized, Uniform, and Comprehensive Collaborative Exchange School Support (SUCCESS) Program for the purpose of improving the collaboration between comprehensive community colleges and high schools in the Commonwealth and increasing access for high school students to opportunities for earning postsecondary credits toward completion of an associate's degree or credential by (i) maximizing technology and sharing resources between high schools and community colleges to allow instructional staff at community colleges to more easily teach high school students; (ii) providing transportation for high school students to and from their respective high schools and the community colleges at which they are participating in a dual enrollment program; (iii) standardizing the core curricula and the award of postsecondary credits for work completed through a dual enrollment program; and (iv) improving access to opportunities to earn postsecondary credits towards completion of an associate's degree or credential and increasing the ability of high school students to complete such degree or credential either prior to graduating from high school or more efficiently and quickly thereafter, with a focus on degrees or credentials in health care-related fields. Finally, the bill directs the Department of Education, the State Board for Community Colleges, and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia to report on their progress in developing the plan for the SUCCESS Program to the Chairmen of the Senate Committee on Education and Health and the House Committee on Education by November 1, 2023, and to implement the SUCCESS Program by the beginning of the 2024–2025 school year.
