Kansas officials report various academic pathways facilitate the identification of a career interest and college credit. In 2004, the Kansas Department of Education and the Board of Regents began working more closely on various issues including high school students' transition to college. The Kansas Board of Regents is currently re-evaluating policies and procedures related to concurrent enrollment.
P-12 priorities vary across the state because they differ by district. Concurrent enrollment has existed for more than 10 years and evolved over that time to the different ways it is implemented today. Kansas hopes to be a part of the national trend that provides a quality concurrent enrollment experience. Other priorities in Kansas are Qualified Admissions (QA) Pre-College curriculum and the P-16 Pathways Project, which is led by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, and the Kansas Department of Education.
Kansas has new performance funding called "performance agreements" in which all 37 postsecondary institutions are required to enter into a contract with the Kansas Board of Regents to target statewide goals. Institutions can propose goals for reaching the underserved student populations they wish to serve. |
