Dual Enrollment Program – EITC Program Proposal
The CBSDEF will offer EITC funding for dual enrollment programs and initiatives would offset the costs associated with expanding Dual Enrollment initiatives offered to Central Bucks High School East, Central Bucks High School South, and Central Bucks High School West. CBSD students enrolled in Enrollment (DE) courses are taught by college faculty. DE courses taught at CBSD high schools are college courses and curriculum taught by CV teachers who are approved college adjunct professors.
Upon successful completion of a course, students earn both college (3 or 4 credits) and high school credits (1 CV credit per course).
Currently the Central Bucks School District has agreements in place with Bucks County Community College.
