Forward-Thinking Legal Guidance: Dual Enrollment
Our office helped develop one of the earliest dual enrollment programs on a community college campus – the Riverside Gateway to College Charter School. Since then, we have helped create agreements between community colleges and K-12 institutions so that students who could benefit from dual enrollment could do so. Because we also represent K-12 institutions, we understand the unique challenges associated with dual enrollment programs, such as different student discipline rules and different means of serving students with disabilities at each institution. These differences can lead to problems if not carefully managed by both institutions.
