Board adopts new math program and multiple dual-enrollment courses for 2025–26
Summary
The Huntington UFSD board approved Reveal Math for grades 6–8 and several new courses, including an eighth‑grade study skills course, AP College Physics (dual enrollment with Siena College), and an engineering-graphics dual-enrollment course (SUNY Oswego alignment).
The Huntington Union Free School District board on June 2 adopted several curriculum and course changes the superintendent recommended, including a new middle‑school mathematics program and multiple dual‑enrollment offerings for high-school students.
The board voted unanimously to adopt Reveal Mathematics for grades 6–8 for the 2025–26 school year. Administrators said Reveal’s lesson model centers sense‑making and provides differentiated instructional options and technology integration aligned to New York State standards.
Separately, the board approved an eighth‑grade study‑skills course to support reading comprehension, test strategies and academic organization, to be offered by current middle‑school faculty and targeted to students demonstrating need. The board also approved AP College Physics as a dual‑enrollment option in partnership with Siena College; administrators said successful students can earn four college credits through Siena at a reduced rate of $250, with free credit for students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Board members noted the course aligns closely with AP Physics content.
The board also approved a new college engineering graphics and technical illustration course aligned with SUNY Oswego that will offer three college credits at a reduced fee ($175; $85 for students who qualify for free or reduced lunch). Administrators said the course will use industry-standard CAD software, 3‑D fabrication tools and emphasize blueprint reading, modeling and prototyping; the course will replace the underenrolled computer-integrated-manufacturing (Project Lead The Way) class.
Board members and administrators emphasized access and college-readiness benefits. District staff noted that dual-enrollment credits may improve transferability for students and that partner colleges provide curricular supports and teacher professional development. Where costs for credits were discussed, administrators said financial assistance is available for students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Motions and votes were recorded on the agenda for each item. Administrators said department and teacher review informed the selections and that further professional development and curriculum materials would be phased in over the summer and into the coming school year.
