Board approves ESHS English 10 CP/Honors course modification after months of faculty work
Summary
El Segundo Unified's board unanimously approved a revised English 10 College Prep/Honors course for El Segundo High School, a curriculum change district staff said was developed by the high school English department over an extended review and public availability period.
The El Segundo Unified School District Board of Education on May 13 unanimously approved a modification to the El Segundo High School English 10 CP/English 10 Honors course after administrators said the revision had been developed by the English department and made available for public review.
Ms. Janicek presented the item as a recommended approval and said the modification had been shared at the previous board meeting and had been available for public review between meetings. The board discussed the attachments and curriculum materials; several board members praised the department’s work and described the change as a “labor of love” that was prepared carefully.
Board members — speaking in turn during discussion — said they had reviewed the course materials and commended the authors for the scope and thoughtfulness of the revision. One board member asked whether videos and attachments had been reviewed; others said they had clicked through the provided materials and felt confident in the work. The motion to approve passed 5-0.
The transcript records praise for the curriculum authors and appreciation for the process; administrative staff described the modification as having progressed through the appropriate review steps. The meeting record does not include the full course text or a line-by-line summary of changes; it records the board’s approval and the district’s representation that the materials were made available for public inspection.
