High-school and district administrators presented a course-planning guide and a preliminary calendar for the 2026–27 school year and outlined staffing and curricular changes the district is considering.

Calendar and scheduling: The proposed calendar would start student instruction a week later (Aug. 24) and keep the last student day at June 3. The district proposes adding professional-development days before student start and shifting some recess/PD days; administrators said the calendar will be posted for public comment for one week and feedback will be reviewed before a final vote.

Financial-management requirement: The administration said the state is moving to require a personal/financial-management credit for high-school graduation and that Susquehanna will make a financial-management course a required credit for the incoming freshman class. "This is gonna be a requirement that every student needs in order to graduate," the administrator said, and that the course will cover budgeting, saving, credit, insurance, and related topics.

CTE and course changes: The high school described a portfolio of course-offering changes including new AP and CTE-aligned options, a proposed small reduction in the district’s credit requirement (from 24 to 21) to allow more flexibility for work-study and CTE pathways, and plans to expand the cadet-teaching program and community partnerships with local colleges for dual enrollment and applied learning.

Special-education modifications: Administrators proposed a modified Spanish curriculum (Spanish MC) intended to allow special-education learners to access language study at an appropriate pace.

What’s next: The calendar and course-planning guide will be posted for public feedback; any formal curricular or graduation-requirement changes will return to the board for approval before they take effect.
