postsecondary intercollegiate athletics. If a fee is charged to other students
of the eligible postsecondary institution for any of the above services, that
fee may also be charged to participating secondary students on the same basis
as it is charged to postsecondary students.

students are properly enrolled in courses that will carry college
credit.
d. The institutions shall

in the subject area and are accepted as college-level work.

on a regular basis for continuous improvement, shall follow up with students in
order to use information gained from the students to improve course delivery
and content, and shall share data on course progress and outcomes with the
collaborative partners involved with the delivery of the programming and with
the department, as needed.
g. The
institutions shall not require a minimum or a maximum number of postsecondary
credits to be earned by a high school student under this chapter. However, no

beyond that which is specified in statute or administrative rule.

Requirements of school district or accredited nonpublic school
only.
a. Except as provided under
Iowa Code sections
257.11(3)
"c," 279.50A and 261E.8(2)"b" the school district or
accredited nonpublic school shall certify annually to the department, as an
assurance in the district's or accredited nonpublic school's basic education
data survey, that the course provided to a high school student for
postsecondary credit in accordance with this chapter supplements, and does not
supplant, a course provided by the school district or accredited nonpublic
school in which the student is enrolled. For purposes of these rules, to comply
with the "supplement, not supplant" requirement, the content of a course
provided to a high school student for postsecondary credit shall not consist of
substantially the same concepts and skills as the content of a course provided
by the school district or accredited nonpublic school.
b. The school district or accredited
nonpublic school shall ensure that the background investigation requirement of
subrule 22.3(1) is satisfied. The school district or accredited nonpublic
school shall pay for the background investigation but may charge the teacher or
instructor a fee not to exceed the actual cost charged the school district or
accredited nonpublic school for the background investigation conducted. If the
teacher or instructor is employed by an eligible postsecondary institution, the
school district or accredited nonpublic school shall pay for the background
investigation but may request reimbursement of the actual cost to the eligible
postsecondary institution.
