Board to open public review of new high‑school data science curriculum before consent adoption
Summary
Teaching and learning staff said the district will open a month‑long public review period for a new data science curriculum (UQ Data Science), an approved USBE option that can substitute for secondary math 3; the board will consider adoption on the consent agenda after feedback closes June 15.
District teaching and learning staff told the board they will open a public feedback period tomorrow for a new high‑school course, a junior‑level data science curriculum that students may take in place of Secondary Math 3.
The presenter said the curriculum under consideration is "UQ Data Science," a Stanford‑developed program on Utah’s list of approved curricula, and that an instructional materials adoption committee of teachers, administrators and parents recommended the adoption. The public review will run for one month, close June 15, and include a district webpage with a peer‑review link and a Zoom meeting for questions. Staff said the curriculum is already purchased and will not require additional district funding for materials; after the feedback period the item will appear on the consent calendar for board adoption.
Board action: informational; staff will post materials and solicit public input before placing the item on the consent agenda.
