INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AND MEMORANDUM OF

UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE WEBBCOUNTY JUVENILE BOARD

AND

LAREDO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

2016-2017 School Year

I.

State law requires juvenile boards and independent school districts in counties with populations of

125.000 or more to jointly provide alternative education options for public school students. Texas

Education Code §37.008 requires Laredo Independent School District ("LISD") to establish a

district-level Disciplinary Alternative Education Program ("DAEP"). The Webb County Juvenile

Board ("Juvenile Board") must create a Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program ("JJAEP")

in accordance with §37.011 of the Texas Education Code. Unless otherwise stated, all

references to section and chapter numbers in this Agreement are to the Texas Education Code.

The JJAEP is not allowed by law to require a student or the parent or guardian of a student to pay

any fee, including an entrance fee or supply fee, for participation in the program.

II.

Purpose

This Memorandum of Understanding is between LISD and the Juvenile Board and is intended to do the

following:

1. Outline the responsibilities of the Juvenile Board concerning the establishment and

operation of the JJAEP:

2. Define the amount and conditions of payments from LISD to the Juvenile Board for

students of LISD served in the JJAEP whose placement was not made on the basis of an expulsion

under §37.007(a), (d), or (e);

3. Identify those categories of conduct that LISD has defined in its Student Code of Conduct

as constituting serious misbehavior for which a student may be placed in the JJAEP;

4. Identify and require a timely placement and specify a term of placement for expelled

students for whom LISD has received a notice under §52.041(d) of the Texas Family Code:

5. Establish services for the transition of expelled students to LISD prior to the completion

of the student's placement in the JJAEP;

6. Identify a plan that provides transportation services for students placed in the JJAEP;

7. Establish the circumstances and conditions under which a juvenile may be allowed to

remain in the JJAEP once the juvenile is no longer under Juvenile Court jurisdiction;

§37.007(a), (d), or (e) of the Texas Education Code (See Exhibit "A") must, according to State Law,

be placed in the Webb County JJAEP pursuant to §37.011(b). The Webb County Juvenile Board

should be aware that pursuant to §37.001(a) of the Education Code commission of a §37.007(a), (d),

or (e) offense may not lead to a student's expulsion if mitigating factors exist as outlined under

§37.001(a), which may preclude LISD from expelling the student. Should a juvenile court

proceed to court order the placement of a juvenile, who has committed a §37.007(a), (d), or

responsible for the court ordered placement ("expulsion") of the student.

According to State Law, students who are expelled for offenses under this section of this

Memorandum of Understanding ("Section III. A Offenses") must be referred to the Juvenile

Probation Department for those offenses. If the police report or complaint does not describe

conduct which would rise to the level of a Section III. A Offense, the Webb County Juvenile

Board may require LISD to provide additional information to support the assignment to Section III

A.

B. DISCRETIONARY PLACEMENT OFFENSES

Students who are expelled from LISD while placed in a District-level DAEP are eligible for

enrollment in the JJAEP if they continue to engage in serious misbehavior that violates LISD' s

Student Code of Conduct or other offenses under §37.007(b), (c), (f) or (i). (see Exhibit "B.)

Also, under §37.0081, a LISD student may be expelled and placed into the JJAEP for (a)

5 felony offense or the felony offense of aggravated robbery under Title 7, Section 29.03, Penal

aggravated robbery under Title 7, Section 29.03, Penal Code; (e) receiving probation or deferred

adjudication for a Title 5 felony offense; or (f) for being convicted of a felony offense or the felony

offense of aggravated robbery under Title 7, Section 29.03, Penal Code; or (g) being arrested or

Dual Post-Secondary Credit Partnership Agreement Between LCC and LISD

Page 1 of 11

PURPOSE

This Dual Credit Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") will serve as the instructional

partnership between Laredo Community College (LCC) and Laredo Independent School

District(LISD) to facilitate the provisions of Dual Credit college courses as mandated by the

Texas Administrative Code Title 19 Part 1 Chapter 4 Subchapter D Rule §4.85.

1) DUAL CREDIT COURSES

(a) Dual credit courses are courses in which a high school student enrolls in a

college course and receives simultaneous academic credit for the course from both

the college and high school. Courses offered for dual credit must be identified by

LCC as college level academic courses or workforce courses.

(b) LCC will teach dual credit course sections where at least a minimum amount of

students per section are identified as follows: 20 HB1, 12 HB5 with the exception of

NURA clinical courses that are maxed at 10 students per section as per accreditation

requirements. Other exceptions can be made on case by case basis.

(c) LISD will assume all responsibility for providing and paying for supplemental

materials, textbooks, and equipment required by students taking the dual credit courses

under this Agreement.

(d) LISD will assume all responsibility for payment of tuition and fees due for

matriculation for LISD high school students participating under this Agreement.

(e) LCC is not required under this Agreement to offer dual credit courses for LISD

high school students if prevailing conditions at the college prohibit LCC from

doing so such as financial exigency.

2) STUDENT ELIGIBILITY

(a) To be eligible for enrollment in dual credit courses high school students must

meet the college's admission criteria. This includes requiring students to have a

processed admission application and enrollment packets along with the proper

permission forms approved by the district and the college.

(b) Any high school student can demonstrate eligibility to enroll in dual credit courses by

meeting (1) Texas Success Initiative and dual credit standards; (2) LCC’s course

placement requirements; and (3) high school grade average of 85.

(c) Students must meet all the college's regular academic prerequisite requirements for each designated dual credit course.


Page 2 of 11

(d) Students must remain in good academic standing at their high school and at LCC

while enrolled at both institutions. Students identified to not be in good academic standing will not be allowed to enroll for subsequent semesters. Grades of “F” earned at LCC and students with a GPA below a 2.0 will indicate that students are not in academic standing. A student earning a grade of “D” may be placed in academic warning and may or may not continue with the program, based on the counselor’s recommendation. Students in specialty programs in Health Sciences, Computer Technology and Transportation Technology have higher grade standards than other college courses and/or programs.

3) LOCATION OF CLASS AND SCHEDULE

(a) Dual credit courses will be taught on the college campus, at the High School, as a

hybrid or on-line course in accordance with the LCC instructional calendar. The

method and location will be determined by both entities which will be mutually agreed

upon. Some Health Science clinical courses may be taught at other external sites as

identified by the instructional department.

(b) LCC will offer dual credit courses for the district based on a mutually agreed upon

location, schedule and calendar which will be conveyed in writing and revised as needed.

4) COMPOSITION OF CLASS

(a) Dual credit courses may be composed of dual credit students or dual and college

credit students.

5) FACULTY, SUPERVISION, AND EVALUATION

(a) LCC will select instructors for college level dual credit courses.

(b) Instructors must be regularly employed faculty members of LCC or must meet the

same standards (including minimal requirements of the Southern Association of

Colleges and Schools) and approval procedures used by LCC to select faculty

responsible for teaching the same college level courses at the college.

(c) Dual credit students will evaluate their instructors using the same evaluation

instruments and procedures that are used for faculty at LCC.

(d) High school teachers selected to teach dual credit courses must meet the same

approved criteria that LCC uses for adjunct faculty and will be evaluated using the

same evaluation instruments and procedures that are used for faculty at the college.

Courses taught by high school teachers will be tuition-free and adjunct faculty under

this agreement will be evaluated each instructional semester by the college’s

appropriate department chair.

6) COURSE CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, AND GRADING


Page 3 of 11

(a) LCC dual credit courses are equivalent to any other college level courses with respect

to curriculum, instruction, and grading criteria.

(b) Dual credit courses will meet or exceed Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)

for the courses they replace. Reinforcement of these TEKS will be the responsibility

of the school district during non-college instructional days.

(c) Textbooks used in dual credit courses will be the same as those used in the regular

college course taught by LCC. The college will make very reasonable attempt to adopt

textbooks for a minimum period of three (3) years, whenever possible.

(d) Students enrolled in a dual credit course(s), offered under this Agreement, will have

access to all available instructional resources at LCC.

(e) LCC will report student progress, letter grades, and attendance to the LISD

designees.

offered by LCC to LISD.

7) ACADEMIC POLICIES AND STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

(a) Regular academic policies applicable to college level courses taught by LCC will also

apply to dual credit courses offered under this Agreement. These policies include the

appeal process for disputed grades, drop policy, the communication of grading policy

to students, distribution of course syllabus and any pertinent policies or guidelines

associated with the dual credit courses.

(b) Student drops will be process upon the district’s request only, not the student or

parent’s/guardian’s request. Drops after census period will require the district’s internal

drop form to be submitted for LCC’s Dual Enrollment Office. Students dropping after

the census period will not be allowed to enroll in another courses during the same

semester even if the student is moving to another district campus offering the same

coursework.

(c) Students in dual credit courses will be eligible to use the same or comparable support

services that are afforded to LCC students. LCC will be responsible for ensuring timely

and efficient access to such services as counseling, academic support services and

other benefits for which the student may be eligible.

(d) Students in dual credit courses will subject to the Code of Student Conduct and

Discipline. LCC will reserve the right to take appropriate action on academic misconduct

on any dual credit student regardless of where the courses are taught. LCC will defer to

the school district to take any necessary action for conduct and discipline over dual credit

students that occur at the high school campus.

8) TRANSCRIPTION OF CREDIT


Page 4 of 11

LCC will be responsible for maintaining the dual credit student college transcript and dual

credit courses will be identified as college level. LISD will be responsible for maintaining

the high school student's transcript.
