Lake Country schools are preparing for a possible change to the state-funded dual enrollment program. Georgia House Bill 444, which would effectively limit the amount of state-funded college courses in which high schoolers can enroll, passed through the Georgia State Senate in January, and Gov. Brian Kemp is likely to sign the bill. Under the proposed change to the program, the state would only pay for up to 30 credit hours per student, taking effect in the 2020-21 school year.

All Georgia high schools that offer dual enrollment courses would be affected, including high schools in Greene, Morgan and Putnam counties.
