Hartland staff present 2026–27 high‑school and Legacy curriculum guides; small course adjustments and new CTE recognitions proposed
Summary
District staff reviewed proposed curriculum guides for the high school and Legacy campus for 2026–27 — mostly technical updates, alignment of special education course names to general education equivalents, and proposed honor cords for automotive and construction trades sequences.
District curriculum staff presented the proposed 2026–27 high school and Legacy (HVA) curriculum guides to the board for review on Nov. 17, 2025. The presentation described mostly non‑substantive edits — course name and description clarifications, grade‑level adjustments and alignment between resource/special education and general education course titles — and proposed a few new recognitions.
Highlights: - Proposed automotive technology and construction trades honor cords for seniors who complete a three‑course sequence, achieve a specified GPA in those courses (3.5 or higher) and pass certification tests. - Continued efforts to align special education course names with general education equivalents (for example, naming parallel classes "biology" and "biology resource") to improve clarity for scheduling and transcript purposes. - Staff said the guide reflects iterative improvements and alignment with county and state standards; the board was asked to receive the guides for review, with formal approval planned at a subsequent meeting to allow student scheduling for February.
Trustees asked about frequency of updates (annually), teacher certification challenges in certain content areas (special education plus content area certifications), and whether courses on Legacy could be accessed by students at the main campus; staff explained scheduling constraints make some cross‑campus enrollment difficult but many main campus opportunities are available to Legacy students through coordinated scheduling.
Next step: The guides were presented for review; administration expects to place them on a future meeting agenda for adoption so students can begin course selection.
