Board approves seven new Belton High School courses, including student-run bank partnership
Summary
The board approved seven proposed new Belton High School courses for 2026-27, including a course tied to a planned student-run bank in partnership with RG Federal Credit Union and several career-focused and field-science offerings.
A district presenter outlined seven proposed Belton High School courses for the 2026-27 school year and asked the board to approve them. The courses would expand career-technical pathways and add options including career-focused mathematics for trades, materials science, ecology/field biology, earth and space field sciences, and a walking/wellness course that uses the pool.
The presenter said the course that replaces banking and finance is intended to support an actual bank run within the school through a partnership with RG Federal Credit Union. The presenter described career English for non-college-bound students and noted the new course sequence is designed to align with academy pathways.
A board member moved to approve the proposed courses, the motion was seconded, and the board voted in favor with no recorded opposition.
