<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">I need to clarify regarding the concurrent enrollment that was on the discussion board. There was a chart that Santa Fe South used regarding courses and credits- IT WAS NOT FROM
OSRHE. </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#C00000">Remember - Those are local policy decisions!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#C00000">it is local policy</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">. Here is the law:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-family:TimesNewRoman">Pursuant to 70 O.S. §628.13, when a student earns college credit through concurrent enrollment,<span style="color:#002060">
</span>school districts shall provide academic credit for any concurrently enrolled higher education courses<span style="color:#002060">
</span>that are correlated with the academic credit awarded by the institution of higher education. Academic<span style="color:#002060">
</span>credit shall only be transcripted as elective credit if there is no correlation between the concurrent<span style="color:#002060">
</span>enrollment higher education course and a course provided by the school district. The decision on<span style="color:#002060">
</span>whether or not there is correlation between the college course and a course that is offered at the high<span style="color:#002060">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">I send you this as some districts may be discussing next year’s handbook and policies. The school board makes the local policies with guidance from your administration. I hope
this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
