Allows Illinois students in grades 7 or 8 to enroll in high school courses and earn credit if they pass the end-of-course exam.
HB3039 amends the Illinois School Code to allow students in grades 7 or 8 to enroll in required high school courses offered by their future high school. Students must participate in the course at the high school or at their current school, provided they pass the end-of-course exam, demonstrating proficiency at the high school level. The course must be taught by a licensed teacher endorsed for the grade level and content area. Successful completion of the course earns the student high school credit, which satisfies the requirements for a high school diploma.
