Board actions: approvals on curriculum, calendar and personnel
Summary
At the April 13 meeting the McPherson USD 418 board approved MCC curriculum recommendations (adding credit for a Current Issues course and optional middle-school advanced math pathways), adopted the 2026–27 calendar, ratified administrator contracts for 2026–27 and approved routine items.
Several consent and action items were approved by the McPherson USD 418 Board on April 13 after staff presentations and committee review.
MCC recommendations: The Mid-Curriculum Council proposed adding credit for a Current Issues course that includes public speaking/debate and creating an extended Math 1/Math 2 option at the middle-school level to provide in-depth instruction without grade-skipping. The board approved the MCC recommendations.
2026–27 Calendar: The board considered calendar drafts from the calendar committee and approved the proposed 2026–27 calendar, noting constraints from negotiated contract language and holiday timing. Committee members said future calendar work will begin earlier to allow more stakeholder input.
Administrator contracts and routine items: Following an executive session on personnel, the board approved administrator and director contracts for 2026–27. The board also approved routine items including minutes, bills and financial tracking steps toward year-end close.
No dollar amounts or detailed vote tallies beyond the transcript’s recorded confirmations were provided in the meeting record for every item; staff will return with any required implementation steps and provide follow-up updates as needed.
