Summary

Trustees approved adding an English-language development course and an AP Seminar course to the high-school catalog for 2026–27; staff said the AP Seminar will prepare students for success in AP classes.

The Southgate Community School District board voted April 28 to approve two additions to the 2026–27 high school course catalog: an English-language development (ELD) course for students learning English and an AP Seminar course in language arts.

Staff said the ELD course is intended to support students who are learning English and that the AP Seminar is ‘‘to prepare students for success in AP classes,’’ as presented to the board at a prior meeting. After brief restatement of the proposal, Dr. Pomponio moved approval and the board approved the curriculum items by voice vote with no further discussion or public comment.

The transcript does not include course descriptions, seat capacity, or staffing details; those were presented at the prior meeting, according to staff.
