Illinois HB 3950: Amending the Dual Credit Quality Act

This bill, enacted in 2021, amends the Dual Credit Quality Act, stating that transition planning must include information regarding career and technical education opportunities, as well as postsecondary CTE opportunities. The bill also outlines how school districts within community college districts will create partnerships with one another that modify their dual-credit plan to include students with intellectual and development disabilities providing appropriate accommodations. The partnership agreement between the two outlines how individualized education plans and accommodations are incorporated. The bill encourages the community college’s disability coordinator to participate in meetings regarding the community college and availability of courses. The bill was signed on 8/20/21.
