College Preparatory Courses

Texas Education Code, §28.014Requires school districts and charter schools to partner with at least one institution of higher education to develop and offer college preparatory courses in English language arts and mathematics

Districts must design for students who have not yet demonstrated that they are college ready.

Districts are required to provide notice to students who qualify of the availability of the course.

Students are not required to enroll.


23


§28.014 College Preparatory Courses Districts may use coursework, college

entrance exam results, or TSI results to determine whether a student is college ready.

The courses may be used to satisfy the advanced English language arts course requirement or the fourth mathematics course requirement, as applicable.


24


§39.025 College Preparatory Courses

What is the relationship between the college preparatory courses referenced in Texas Education Code, §28.014 and §39.025(b-2)?

Texas Education Code, §39.025(b-2) does not apply to a course developed under §28.014. While both statutes use the term “college preparatory course,” they are different enactments and represent different local program options.

There is currently no assessment available for a course under TEC, §39.025(b-2).

At this time, there is not a way for a district to implement the §39.025(b-2) requirement without an available assessment.
