Greendale High School proposes new AP African American Studies, college reading elective and adaptive PE mentor course
Greendale High School presented a package of proposed course additions, deletions and modifications intended for the 2026‑27 scheduling cycle.

"This yearly report, basically, I'm able to submit proposed changes to the course offerings," said Mr. Lotus, the high‑school presenter. He said a college reading strategies elective—piloted this year and modeled on University of Wisconsin system courses—would be invite‑only based on students' pre‑ACT reading subscores and could offer college credit through the CAP program.

Lotus described a proposed AP African American Studies course as a year‑long class that "offers an AP exam opportunity" and is articulated with college credit, distinguishing it from an earlier semester elective that had not run in recent years. He said the district will bring the recommended additions and deletions back for board approval at a future meeting.

Other proposed additions include an adaptive physical‑education peer‑mentor semester course (to allow regular PE students to support adaptive PE learners and provide experience for students in health, human services and teaching pathways). Deletions targeted under‑enrolled classes, including a semester English elective (Survivor Themes and Literature), Business Law and Ethics, and some MATC‑articulated medical terminology sections that no longer run with partner classes.

The science department proposed allowing AP Physics 1 to substitute for the physics graduation requirement for some juniors and seniors. Staff also noted ongoing pathway work (education for employment) to meet Department of Public Instruction (DPI) requirements; that report will be submitted for board approval.

Board members asked clarifying questions about how the new AP offering differs from the older elective; staff said the older elective remains in the handbook but simply has not run during the last two years. No vote was recorded; staff will return with a final handbook and scheduling timeline for the 2026‑27 school year.
