Summary
The Arrowhead UHS School District board approved seven course proposals forwarded by the curriculum committee, including an Arrowhead Automotive course, a Business Education Capstone, Education Leadership, Foods & Peer Mentor, and three film-based pilot courses for literacy, social studies and music.
The Arrowhead UHS School District board voted to approve seven new course proposals recommended by the curriculum committee.
Committee co-chairs reported that course reviews took place in October and November and that the proposals were forwarded for board action. The approved courses are: Arrowhead Automotive; Business Education Capstone; Education Leadership; Foods and Peer Mentor; Literacy Through Film; Social Studies Through Film; and Music Through Film. Committee members emphasized the role of career and technical education and pilot-program evaluation as the courses advance into the district's curriculum review cycle.
Each motion to approve was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote. Board members thanked curriculum co-chairs and committee members for the work to align new offerings with the district's values and to support Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways. The board noted that the pilot courses will continue to be evaluated throughout the school year and that administration will follow up with implementation details and any necessary teacher or resource planning before full adoption.
No dissenting votes or recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the public transcript; the motions were recorded as carried after voice approval. The curriculum committee plans to continue review work at the next meeting, scheduled for November 20, and to present additional course guide updates as time permits.
