GREGG COUNTY — Longview ISD and Kilgore College executives are set to sign a dual credit expansion program into effect this Thursday. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what that means for local students. According to our news partner KETK, the growth of the dual credit program will build on the current systems in place under the newly enacted House Bill 8. According to both institutions, the aim is to provide increased educational opportunities and cost-effective pathways for high school students to earn college credit. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Effective immediately, HB-8 brings significant changes to the tuition rates for dual credit students. Students enrolled in public schools, who are officially certified by the state of Texas as free and reduced lunch recipients, will now receive dual credit courses tuition-free,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Dr. Brenda Kays, Kilgore College President. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This truly is a game changer for high school students, especially those who might have not taken dual credit classes previously because of financial reasons.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
