Coconino County Accommodation School District presents proposed 2025–26 Instructional Time Model, highlights Project‑Based Learning
Summary
At a June 12 public hearing in Flagstaff, district officials presented a proposed Instructional Time Model (ITM) for 2025–26, saying remote learning will be used as needed and that the district’s Project‑Based Learning model is performing well; no vote was taken.
The Governing Board of the Coconino County Accommodation School District held a public hearing June 12, 2025, in Flagstaff to present a proposed Instructional Time Model (ITM) for the 2025–26 school year. Chief Education Officer Dave Dirksen summarized the plan and said the hearing—his second public session on the ITM—was intended to inform the community about the district’s approach to student learning.
Dirksen told the board and attendees that the first public hearing was held in May and reiterated that the district intends to maintain a remote learning option ‘‘as needed’’ while continuing to emphasize Project‑Based Learning (PBL). He said the PBL model "was working well" and reviewed the requirements and procedures the district uses to implement PBL in classrooms.
The presentation did not include a formal motion or vote. No changes to the school calendar, daily minute totals, or formal adoption of the ITM were recorded in the hearing minutes. Superintendent and Board President Cheryl Mango‑Paget opened the session at 9:20 a.m. and adjourned it at 9:28 a.m. The district’s meeting notice lists two follow‑up meetings on June 25, 2025: a public hearing at 1:15 p.m. and a special meeting at 1:30 p.m.
The ITM proposal centers on maintaining flexible delivery options for students and continuing the district’s use of project‑based instruction, according to the district presentation. The hearing record does not show detailed schedule changes, student‑level impacts, or budget figures tied to the proposal; those details were not specified in the minutes.
