With the adjusted program, SPS will incur a direct cost of $67,682 in tuition and fees (not including indirect costs and textbooks)
SPS will continue to provide textbooks for all students
SPS will examine other options for the dual enrollment program in the future
Students will continue to have access to comparable AP courses at each building (AP Biology and AP Chemistry)
SPS currently incurs a cost for the teachers that we have from PDCCC. We are currently paying a discounted rate for student tuition ($40 per credit hour vs. $148 per credit hour). This amount will increase next year. We also pay 2 teachers for an additional course load (6th class).
We will move to a 70% reimbursement model for courses taught by our instructors. We will subsidize the cost of the courses taught by PDCCC instructors with the fees charged to students.
AP courses can always be transferred back to PDCCC to be used towards an associate degree or certificate program
