School board opts not to adopt LifeSmart Youth; keeps and plans to update existing wellness curriculum
Summary
On first reading of Policy 8510 (Wellness), the board discussed the LifeSmart Youth Curriculum and voted 5–0 to keep the district's current wellness curriculum and to re‑evaluate and update it rather than adopt LifeSmart Youth.
During the April 8 meeting, the board took up Policy 8510 (Wellness) on first reading and discussed whether to adopt the LifeSmart Youth Curriculum. After deliberation on the program's pros and cons, the board recommended keeping the district's current wellness curriculum and directed that it be re‑evaluated and updated rather than adopting LifeSmart Youth.
Mrs. Soloe moved to approve the recommendation to retain and update the current curriculum; Mrs. Woods seconded the motion, which the board recorded as carried 5–0. The action was taken on first reading of Policy 8510; the minutes do not record a formal adoption of a new policy or specific next steps beyond the recommendation to update the existing program.
The board's decision leaves the current district wellness program in place for the immediate term while signaling an intent to modernize content through a future review. No contract or formal adoption of LifeSmart Youth was authorized at the meeting.
