Georgia Could Cap College Course Payments For High Schoolers

Georgia high school students would face a cap on the number of college courses the state would pay for under a bill that passed the state Senate on Tuesday.

House Bill 444 passed on a 34-18 vote and now moves to the House for more debate.

Gov. Brian Kemp and a number of lawmakers say the cost of Georgia’s dual enrollment program, which pays for college courses for high schoolers, is growing too fast.
