Board to vote next week on renaming 8th-grade art electives at Patton Middle School
Summary
Teachers proposed renaming several 8th-grade art course titles (for clarity only); the item will be a voting item at next week’s regular board meeting and would take effect for next year’s course selection if approved.
District staff presented a proposed set of title changes for Patton Middle School 8th-grade art electives intended to reduce student confusion at course selection. Proposed changes include renaming "Sculpture" to "Ceramics" or "3D Sculpture" depending on course content, and renaming "Traditional Art" to "Drawing and Painting." Staff said the courses themselves and content will not change, only the course titles.
The board was told the item will be a voting item at next week’s regular board meeting; if approved, the new titles would be used for course selection in late winter/spring and be in place for the next school year. No vote occurred at the Oct. 14 committee meeting.
Next steps: The item will appear on the regular board agenda for a vote next week; the committee asked staff to confirm corrected title text in BoardDocs and proceed to the full board.
