Welcome to guest Fred Fraser

David Gebhardt joined the meeting to discuss questions pertaining to public academies and transferring in.

The "minimum standards" don't address transferring into public academies from other educational institutions.
There is no control for credits transferring in other than a screening process.
David referred us to pages 8 and 13 of the minimum standards
- Ed 306.18 (a) (i) and
- Ed 306.23 (h)
What is "promotion status" relative to a home school student Discussion on the dual enrollment law - Pat Busselle handed out a proposed modification to the current law.
The law seems meant to affirm that district may (and encourage districts to) allow dual enrollment rather than to force districts to allow dual enrollment. Discussion with Pat ensued.

We accepted karen Tardiff's nonpublic school survey results and offer her our thanks.

Elaine handed out the complete information packet included with the HEAC annual report to the State Board for year 1995-1996

The last several items of the agenda will be addressed at the next meeting which will be January 7, 1996 at 3:30 pm in Room 15 at the Department of Education.
