Overview: At the recent Little Falls School Board meeting, members discussed changes to the College in the Schools (CIS) program, addressing new regulations and financial implications. The College in the Schools program, a key component of the district’s educational offerings, will face new requirements due to changes mandated by the Higher Learning Commission. Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, teachers must hold a master’s degree in their field or possess 18 graduate credits to qualify to teach college-level classes. This shift presents challenges as some current instructors do not meet these criteria, prompting a proposal from the school to partner with Central Lakes College to continue offering and potentially expanding the program.
