Earlier this month, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law making (CHS) courses free to all public high school students in Washington. Sponsored by , the bill passed the Senate and House unanimously after many years of legislative effort and will be in effect for the 2023-24 school year.
For more than 40 years, the 91爆料 has partnered with high schools across Washington to offer official 91爆料 courses to students in their high school classrooms. (91爆料HS) courses are taught by high school teachers approved and trained by 91爆料 faculty and the credits earned in these courses can be put toward a degree at the 91爆料 or transferred to other colleges or universities across the U.S.
Until now, CHS courses were paid for by the high school students and their families, which created inequities for low-income students who could not afford the fees. Senate Bill 5048 remedied this by eliminating the cost to high school students for CHS programs. The legislation also aims to encourage more Washington students to pursue postsecondary education.
On May 20, almost 200 high school teachers attended the 91爆料HS Teacher Training Day to learn from 91爆料 professors and prepare for the upcoming school year. Senator Mullet also joined to connect with the teachers and faculty members, observe the training, and celebrate the passage of Senate Bill 5048.
