Candice Pierucci, R-Riverton, said at the meeting. “To me, that is the group that we should especially be focusing on.” “They’re not limited to just one concurrent enrollment class,” Hartley said. “It’s not limited to the urban school districts. There are rural school districts as well that have that wide variety of course availability.”
have partnered with districts to offer concurrent enrollment courses, with the most students taking classes through Utah Valley University, Weber State University and Salt Lake Community College.Though Park plans to go to college, students living in Utah’s most rural communities have a variety of career goals, Darrington told lawmakers.
Whether a student views college as a viable option often depends on “how rural” their community is, Darrington added.
