Both the administration and board recognize the value of dual enrollment, however, and wish to offer the opportunity to those students who are able to take advantage of it. Therefore, the district has prepared agreements with both Clarion University of Pennsylvania and Saint Bonaventure University that continue the programs for the 2011-12 school year, with the understanding that parents and students will be responsible for all costs related to the program, as well as getting to/from any on-campus dual enrollment courses.
