Haysville board hears first readings for contemporary math and a law/public‑safety CTE pathway

District academic staff presented two first readings for new high‑school coursework and a proposed CTE pathway. Dr. Pete Reed described a full-year contemporary math course to be taught in partnership with WSU Tech that would allow students to earn college credit without taking college algebra; one-time curriculum materials were estimated at about $3,600 pending district quotes.

Administrators also proposed establishing a law/public‑safety career and technical education pathway. Reed said the district’s intro‑level class (intro to law, public safety, corrections and security) currently enrolls 86 students across four sections, signaling sustained interest. The proposal asks the board to approve Law 1 as a full‑year course for the next school year and Law 2 the following year so the pathway can be designated as a completer sequence. Staff noted Law classes could be offered for dual credit through WSU Tech and that teacher qualifications (Ms. Drago) are in place; textbook costs, if required, were estimated at roughly $2,000 per class as a one‑time expense.

Board members asked logistical questions about classroom space in the planned CTE building and whether classes would be 'stacked' (two levels taught in the same room). Administration said the new CTE center includes multiple functional classrooms that could be used later, and that initial scheduling intends Law 1 to run as a standalone class with no extra staffing assigned unless enrollment demands change.

No board action was taken; both items were presented as first readings and trustees asked staff to return with implementation details and enrollment projections during spring scheduling.
