A local or regional board of education that operates a regional agricultural science and technology education center shall provide to each student enrolled in such center all of the student's nonagricultural academic courses, provided any such board which, on or before July 1, 1993, entered into an agreement to offer shared-time arrangements and any such board that operates a regional vocational aquaculture program may offer or continue to offer such shared-time arrangements unless the Commissioner of Education determines that such shared-time arrangements are not in substantial compliance with the provisions of sections 10-64 and 10-65 and any regulations adopted pursuant to section 10-66. For purposes of this section and said section 10-65, “shared-time arrangements” means the enrollment of students in a regional agricultural science and technology education center while such students receive nonagricultural academic courses in a school district under the jurisdiction of a local or regional board of education other than the board of education operating such center.
