ADDENDUM TO THE DUAL CREDIT PROGRAM AGREEMENT BETWEEN BLINN COLLEGE DISTRICT AND SOMERVILLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

This Addendum is made and entered into on August 3, 2026 (“Addendum Effective Date”) between Somerville Independent School District (“SISD”), and Blinn College District (“Blinn College”).

WHEREAS, Somerville Independent School District (SISD) and Blinn College District (Blinn College) have entered into a Dual Credit Program Agreement, dated August 1, 2024. The purpose of this Addendum is to update the tuition options selected for Somerville High School under the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in contemplation of the established relationship between the parties and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree to revise as follows:

Section 7. Tuition

Students enrolled in dual credit courses under the Dual Credit Program will pay tuition for ACGM and WECM dual credit courses in accordance with the option(s) below:

_________ Option 1: IF, an instructor who is a College or District employee provides dual credit instruction regardless of location or modality; THEN, a NON-FAST student enrolled in the Dual Credit Program will pay the State of Texas approved tuition rate for the current academic year.

_________ Option 2: IF, a qualified and approved instructor employed by the District is utilized for a course and the College does not pay the selected instructor a faculty overload rate; THEN, a NON-FAST student would only pay $20 per credit hour (e.g. $60 for a three (3) credit hour course, or $80 for a four (4) credit hour course). Additionally, under this option, the District will receive a reimbursement of service payment of $500 for each course section of dual credit. A minimum of eight (8) students are required for each course in the Dual Credit Program

_________ Option 3: IF, a qualified and approved instructor employed by the District is utilized for a technical (WECM) dual credit course and the College pays no compensation to the instructor; THEN, the tuition for each student enrolled in that course are waived (e.g. there is NO COST to the student for a College technical dual credit course taught on a high school campus by a high school instructor).

Except as set forth in this Addendum, the remaining terms and conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding shall remain in full force and effect. This update supersedes the previous selection of tuition options for these campuses as indicated in the original Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each party has caused this Addendum to be executed as of the date set forth below.
