Board adopts revised curriculum policy for students with disabilities
Summary
Trustees approved revisions to policy IDD on curriculum design and instruction for students with disabilities after board and staff worked through language updates; members praised added clarity and the motion passed by voice vote.
The school board voted to adopt revisions to policy IDD, which addresses curriculum design and instruction for students with disabilities.
Board members and staff discussed the revisions at length and thanked the district team for reworking language to increase clarity. Dr. Higbee, who contributed to the policy updates, told trustees the revisions were carefully considered: "This was too important for us to rush through it," Dr. Higbee said, and thanked colleagues for their input.
A trustee moved to approve the amended policy; the board voted in favor by voice vote and the chair recorded the motion as passed. Board members said the updated language should provide clearer guidance to staff and better align expectations for instruction for students with disabilities.
Staff will finalize and distribute the updated policy documents to sites.
