Stillwater Area High School leaders presented a proposal at the Oct. 7, 2025 Stillwater Area Public Schools board meeting to implement a 7x2 modified schedule beginning in fall 2026 and to expand Pathways options, launch an Online Learning Academy and increase supports for student well-being.
The proposal, given as part of the meeting's workshop segment and recorded in the board minutes, said the 7x2 modified schedule would take effect in fall 2026 and would be accompanied by additional Pathways programming intended to strengthen college and career readiness. Leaders also described plans for an Online Learning Academy and for enhanced supports focused on student well-being.
