| UPDATE - After Glenville State College reportedly changed course requirements for high school students taking dual credit high school courses in Calhoun, reportedly requiring them to have unforeseen financial burden, Calhoun Superintendent of Schools Tim Woodward says he is working on a solution.
Woodward said, "Glenville (college) changed policy in their course manuals. Our staff was not aware because communication did not get to us before our students signed up."
"Therefore, while the credit does count as an elective it did not count as a credit in a specific educational major," he said.
"However, administrator Kelli Whytsell and I have a meeting with Glenville (College) to ask that students that took the courses be grandfathered in," indicating there could be a solution to the student's dilemma.
Glenville State did not respond to a request to clarify the issue.
ORIGINAL STORY 5/19/15 - Calhoun High School grads who are attending Glenville State College under a co-op dual credit agreement have discovered they must retake and pay for the same course again after entering Glenville State as freshmen.
Calhoun Superintendent of Schools Tim Woodward told school board members last week that he believes Glenville State will correct the problem.
Woodward did not respond to a public information request to explain Glenville State's policy change that has resulted in a problem for several students, and Glenville State administrators have not responded to an information request.
Calhoun High School offers dual credit courses in agreement with WVU and Glenville State, which allows students to acquire college credit and high school credit at the local school.
Reportedly, without notification to Calhoun High School administration or Calhoun's central office administration, GSC made a change in one of their major's course requirements that affected several CM-HS graduates that went on to GSC as freshman this year.
A science course that had been offered at CHS last school year was no longer applicable to certain students that entered that particular major at GSC.
Even though students were enrolled at GSC as "early enrollment" and were already legitimate GSC students, they were not given credit toward their major for the course.
Glenville State was requiring them to take another course that had been added to the course requirements, although it was reported to be at a reduced rate.
