Wyoming County Schools board approves new high-school elective standards, adds courses to FY26 program of study
Summary
The board adopted content standards for new high-school electives (Test Strategies, Creative Writing, Appalachian Literature, Literature, Film Studies) and revised the FY26 program of study to include the additions, with staff noting offerings will depend on student interest and master-schedule availability.
Curriculum staff presented a slate of new elective content standards for high school and the board approved each item during the meeting.
Presented courses included Test Strategies, Creative Writing, Appalachian Literature, general Literature and Film Studies. Curriculum staff emphasized alignment to college- and career-readiness standards and noted that class availability will depend on student demand, master-schedule constraints and teacher certification. Tiffany Clemens and other teachers were credited with drafting and reviewing the standards, and the program of study was amended to include the newly approved electives and to reflect recent state guidance on personal finance grade-level flexibility.
Board members approved each content standard by voice vote. Staff said the additions will be available for schools to schedule as interest and staffing allow, and that the district will provide further guidance to principals on implementation.
Ending: The amended FY26 program of study, including the new electives, will be published as part of the program materials and used during master-schedule planning.
