Typically AT the CC campuses – less organized than ECHS

MOAs

Expanded offerings, funding options, & locations (space)

History of Success – breeds success, increased interest

Issues on which to Work

Streamlined application ( residency and placement testing) – fudge the boundaries

Planned programming – sustainability and consistency from year to year

Incorporation into HGI Strategies – Fast Track

Legislative change to funding formulae for EC/Dual Credit to reduce reliance on outside $

Consistency across campuses/high schools

Building capacity for increased demand

Making a positive change permanent
