Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a pupil enrolled in a public school in the 11th or 12th grade
may attend an institution of higher education for one or more courses under the
Youth Options Program. The school board of the district in which the pupil is enrolled
is responsible for paying the cost of tuition, fees, and books for the pupil under certain
circumstances.
This bill eliminates the Youth Options Program.

printed as an appendix to this bill.
