Concurrent enrollment courses may be made available pursuant to contractual agreements between the Independence Community School District and postsecondary education institutions. The concurrent enrollment program promotes rigorous academic or career and technical pursuits by providing opportunities for high school students to earn postsecondary credit. Students in grades 9-12 who meet the eligibility standards set by law may enroll in concurrent enrollment courses. Tuition for concurrent enrollment courses, as cited in the yearly contractual agreement between ICSD and postsecondary institutions, is paid for by the Independence Community School District.
Students will not be required to purchase textbooks for concurrent courses that are listed for fall and spring semesters in the Joint Education Service Agreements between ICSD and postsecondary institutions. Textbooks (including digital, digital access, and hard copy) will be provided by the District and will remain the property of the District. Students may be charged for lost or damaged textbooks, consistent with established procedures for all textbooks.
