New Castle board approves NCMS band and choir credit change and E-rate Category 1 request
Summary
The board voted unanimously to change NCMS curriculum codes so students can receive credit for choir and band, and separately approved an E-rate Category 1 request during the Jan. 12 meeting.
The New Castle Community School Board on Jan. 12 approved a curriculum code change allowing New Castle Middle School students to receive academic credit for choir and band.
The motion to change NCMS curriculum codes was made by Jaci Hadsell, seconded by Jamey Marcum and carried 5-0. The minutes record a student and staff presentation from the Music Business class earlier in the agenda but do not provide further curricular detail beyond the board’s approval to permit credits for Choir and Band.
The board also approved an E-rate Category 1 request by unanimous vote (motion by Nan Polk; second by Jaci Hadsell). The minutes confirm the motion carried 5-0 but do not specify service providers or funding amounts in the public record.
The approvals remove a procedural barrier to awarding credit for performing-arts participation at NCMS and authorize staff to proceed with E-rate Category 1 steps as recorded.
