Curriculum Committee refers two student clubs and recommends books for full‑board review
Summary
The Curriculum Committee referred the Paleontology Club (sponsored by Mr. Kim) and the International Humanitarian Youth Action Campaign (sponsored by Mr. Miller and affiliated with the American Red Cross) to the full board for approval and asked that two books for Women in Literature and Society, including The Awakening, move forward for board consideration.
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Radnor Township SD Curriculum Committee reviewed agenda items and agreed to forward two proposed student clubs and two book adoptions to the full board for approval.
Committee member Mr. Reykdal described the first club, the Paleontology Club, sponsored by Mr. Kim and aimed at students interested in dinosaurs and prehistoric life. He also introduced an International Humanitarian Youth Action Campaign sponsored by Mr. Miller; presenters said the campaign would be nonpartisan, sponsored by the American Red Cross, and focus on humanitarian law and rights of injured soldiers.
Mr. Reykdal asked that both new clubs be moved to the full board for approval. Committee members expressed general support for the clubs; one member said she was “pretty excited about paleontology.” No formal committee vote on the referrals was recorded in the transcript.
On curriculum materials, staff presented two books for Women in Literature and Society courses, naming The Awakening and a selection of shorter works (additional titles were not specified in the transcript). A committee member asked whether paper copies would be available to students; the English department chair present said, “We actually have copies,” and confirmed students would have access. Per committee protocol, staff noted copies will be kept in the superintendent’s office for members to review prior to the full-board review.
Both the club referrals and the book recommendations were sent to the full board for consideration; the meeting did not record final board action or a committee vote on these referrals. The committee then moved on to the communications presentation and adjourned.
