Board approves revised 2025–26 pupil progression plan, allows dual‑enrollment English credit to satisfy English IV requirement
Summary
The Beauregard Parish School Board voted to adopt the 2025–26 pupil progression plan with a correction to allow dual‑enrollment English coursework to count toward the English IV requirement; the plan also includes state‑mandated literacy and numeracy provisions and updated alternate education placement authority.
The Beauregard Parish School Board approved a revised pupil progression plan for the 2025–26 school year that includes district and state required changes and a late correction clarifying that dual‑enrollment English coursework can satisfy the English IV requirement.
Superintendent Hawley reviewed the plan and explained multiple updates: expanded literacy and numeracy supports for third graders, placement guidance for transfer students (including foreign exchange considerations), two changes to alternate education placement authority delegating length decisions to the superintendent or designee, and an Appendix C outlining individual academic support plans.
Hawley identified a drafting omission related to seniors: "Senior students currently must take English 4 for the full year regardless of their English 4 dual enrollment status" and proposed striking the redundant language so that college credit from dual‑enrollment courses would supersede the high‑school unit requirement. The board moved to add that correction and later voted to accept the pupil progression plan with the revision.
The adoption was approved by voice vote; board members did not record individual roll‑call tallies in the transcript. The revised plan now incorporates the state‑required TOPS Tech geometry requirement and other state items noted in the presentation.
