Board approves district academic standards for coming school year
Summary
The board approved the district's academic standards for the next school year after the curriculum committee presented the annual comprehensive standards, described as guidance on what should be taught without mandating instructional methods.
The Manitowoc School District board voted to adopt the district academic standards for the upcoming school year after a recommendation from the curriculum committee.
Committee members described the standards as comprehensive and appropriate for guiding instruction while leaving methods to educators. "They give good guidelines for what should be taught without demanding how it should be taught," a committee speaker said during the meeting.
A motion to approve the standards was made and seconded; the board approved the standards by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The standards will serve as the district's instructional guidance for the coming year and will be available in board materials and through central office channels.
