The Nooksack Valley School Board unanimously approved the district's 2025-26 Highly Capable District Plan on Jan. 15 after a presentation by Teaching and Learning Director Megan Vigre.
Vigre told the board the program diminished during the COVID years but has been rebuilding, qualifying about seven to eight new students per year.

The plan outlines supports that allow identified students to pursue accelerated learning and contribute learning back to their peers.
Director Britt Lentz expressed his full support for the program and emphasized the importance of opportunities that push students toward their potential. On a motion by Halli Kimball and seconded by Britt Lentz the board approved the plan by a 4-0 vote.
The board did not include detailed funding allocations for the program in the minutes; implementation tasks and timelines were not specified beyond continued monitoring by district staff.
