Dual Enrollment: Connecting the Dots for Small School Districts

This spotlight luncheon at the California School Boards Association Annual (CSBA) Education Conference will engage listeners in a discussion around expanding access to dual enrollment opportunities for small school districts. Participants will hear how dual enrollment is a key aspect of the California Community College Chancellor’s Office Vision 2030 and the support available to the field to increase access to college and career opportunities via dual enrollment. Additionally, Board Trustees from both community college and high school districts will share their perspectives on how dual enrollment has created more opportunities for the students in the small districts they serve along with how trustees can support their districts’ dual enrollment efforts.
