Allows Illinois middle school students to earn high school course credit.
Illinois HB4239 amends the School Code to allow school boards to adopt policies permitting middle school students in grades 7 or 8 to enroll in required high school courses. The courses must be offered by the high school the student would attend and taught by a licensed teacher endorsed for the course's grade level and content area. Students can earn credit if they participate in the course at the high school or pass the end-of-course exam demonstrating proficiency.
