The Dual Enrollment program is committed to providing students access to college-level coursework and units while attending high school. High school students will be offered clear pathways toward degrees and certificates in order to gain a jump start on post-secondary education. These students are more likely to complete an educational goal and achieve college and career readiness.
The passage of AB 288 allows California Community College districts to enter into College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Partnership Agreements with local high school districts to expand access to dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. High school students have the opportunity to earn college and high school credit simultaneously while taking college-level coursework at no cost. Program goals are to develop seamless pathways from high school to community college for career technical education (CTE) or general education transfer, improve high school graduation rates, and/or help high school students achieve college and career readiness.
Strategy 1 - Dual Enrollment Program Administrator
Support staff are needed to help achieve the mission and goals of Dual Enrollment.
Currently the Dual Enrollment Program is extremely understaffed given the needs to meet the goals and demands required for a successful program. Dual Enrollment Program staff works cooperatively with the Office of Instruction, Human Resources, Instructional Technology and Student Services to provide a strong dual enrollment program for our area high schools. Additionally, Butte College Dual Enrollment staff collaborate with high school faculty, counselors, and administrative personnel to provide procedural support, academic and program guidance, and onboarding assistance.
The Dual Enrollment Program is in need of a Full-Time Program Administrator to ensure the success of the program and achieve the full potential of Dual Enrollment for the District. With the complexities of the program and the many moving parts requiring coordination of departments, it is imperative to have a Program Administrator in place. This position needs to be devoted to all Dual Enrollment Programs, including AB 288 CCAP, Non-CCAP, and Concurrent Enrollment. All of the aforementioned programs have the ability to create apportionment for the district and assist in the success of students. Having a Program Administrator overseeing these specific programs will increase growth, which will create revenue to the District and offset any additional funding for the position requested.
Strategy 2 - High School Liaison
Stipends paid to each high school district in support of the Dual Enrollment Program on-campus support.
In order to increase Dual Enrollment Program efficiency and education for the high schools in our district, a High School Liaison is needed on each campus. The High School Liaison will provide support to instructors and students for necessary meetings, paperwork and enrollment process. Proposed compensation for each High School Liaison will be a stipend of $100.00 per section. Once in place, the High School Liaison will promote growth on each campus which will increase apportionment and cost for this position will be offset and benefit the District.
Relocation of the Program Administrator to a designated office area for Dual Enrollment. Should be a strategic area in SAS to streamline communication for Dual Enrollment and Concurrent Enrollment between Student Services and Instruction.
