Updates were posted in mid-January to the Early College Credit Program website to clarify how 2017 Wisconsin Act 59 influences dual enrollment for Wisconsin schools. Implementation information has been recently added to the website providing an overview of the Early College Credit Program (effective July 1, 2018) and a comparison to Youth Options (effective until June 30, 2018). Additionally, the December 2017 letter to district administrators regarding "State Aid for School Districts under the Early College Credit Program" is posted to increase awareness about the new cost sharing model and state aid under the Early College Credit Program. Business & information technology educators who are associated with dual enrollment programs should visit the Early College Credit Program website to learn more about the revised statute.
