Committee outlines limited curriculum rewrites for 2025–26, plans for personal finance implementation
Summary
The committee said only health and physical education will be formally rewritten in 2025–26 and that the district must develop a plan this year to implement a state-required personal finance course in 2026–27.
The Curriculum Committee reviewed the schedule for next year’s curriculum work and said only the health and physical education curricula are slated for full rewrite during the 2025–26 cycle.
Committee members were told by curriculum staff that next year’s workload will be lighter: “There are only, there’s only one, formalized, rewrite or revision next year. That’s our health and phys ed curriculum,” the presenter said. The district plans to focus limited resources on that rewrite while addressing a handful of business-department items tied to state requirements.
Why it matters: the district must formalize a plan this coming school year to implement a state-required personal finance course in the 2026–27 school year. The presenter said the district is considering options with the business department and department chair and may consolidate business-course revisions into a single rewrite cycle to align the pathway and meet the personal finance requirement.
Discussion remained at the planning stage; no formal actions were recorded in the transcript. Committee members asked staff to continue conversations with the business department and to return with a recommendation on whether to include the entire business department in the next formal rewrite cycle. The district’s plan must specify how personal finance will be taught to satisfy the state requirement for implementation in 2026–27.
The committee will revisit the business-department sequencing and the draft plan in future meetings.
