BURLINGTON â A federal appeals court ruled unanimously on Friday that a Vermont Catholic high school senior has the right to participate in the state-funded dual enrollment programs that allows students to take college classes for free.
The ruling involves Amy Hester of South Hero, a senior at Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington, and has statewide implications for those high school students similarly situated.
The program pays the tuition for high school juniors and seniors to take up to two courses at approved Vermont colleges.
The ruling impacts students living in a town without a public high school and instead may be attending an approved independent high school, according to Burlington attorney Thomas E. McCormick, part of the legal team for the plaintiffs.
