Board holds second public hearing on proposed 9–12 remote instructional-time model
Summary
During a public hearing, the district described a proposed instructional-time model for grades 9–12 that would monitor attendance and engagement for remote learners and said the model is intended to comply with Arizona statutes and House Bill 2862; the board was asked to approve the plan after two hearings.
The Lake Havasu Unified District held its second public hearing on a proposed instructional-time model for students in grades 9 through 12 who opt for remote learning.
A representative from the district—s student achievement department said the model "establishes how the district will monitor student attendance, engagement, and [compliance] in accordance with requirements for online learning programs" and explained the proposal is intended to meet state instructional-hour requirements while preserving connections to in-person instruction. The presentation referenced compliance with Arizona statutes (identified in the transcript as Arizona statutes 15-8 and 15-91) and House Bill 2862.
The department representative told the board the district completed two public hearings and is seeking the governing board—s approval of the 9—6 instructional plan as an option in addition to existing dual-enrollment and approved off-campus coursework. "This proposal is in addition to the district's broader instructional time model," the representative said, and staff described an online support component that would allow high-school students to access assistance at nontraditional hours.
During public comment, a parent raised separate concerns about the loss of an advanced English dual-enrollment course, asking what families can do to advocate for reinstatement or college-credit options. The commenter identified a student named Elijah and appealed to the board for routes that help advanced learners access college courses.
No formal vote on the instructional-time model is recorded in the provided transcript. The board was presented the proposal and public input during the meeting; the district requested a formal approval vote, and the transcript shows the matter was positioned for board action following the public hearing process.
