Board approves AP precalculus course to replace honors offering
Summary
The Farmington Board of Education voted unanimously Jan. 7 to approve a new AP precalculus course (replacing the honors precalculus track). Board members said the change gives students an additional opportunity to earn college credit; the motion passed by roll call.
At the Jan. 7, 2025 meeting the Farmington Public School District Board of Education voted to approve a new AP precalculus course that will replace the district’s honors precalculus offering.
The motion was made by Mrs. Heinrich and supported by Dr. Turner. The proposal had been presented to the board for discussion at the Dec. 17, 2024 meeting. During discussion trustees noted that the AP course aligns with existing district curriculum and gives students an opportunity to take an AP exam to earn potential college credit in place of the former honors labeling.
The board conducted a roll-call vote. Members recorded in the roll call — Dr. Blau (yes), Ms. Smith (yes), Mr. Hall (yes), Ms. Williams (yes) and the president voting in the affirmative — voted to approve the course. The chair announced the motion passed.
This item was routine curriculum approval and the district said no additional immediate budget action was required. The board also approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda by separate motions earlier in the session; those procedural items passed on voice votes.
