Board adopts high-school academic handbook changes, advances diploma timeline
Summary
Trustees approved updates to course pathways and an accelerated adoption of revised graduation requirements so the class of 2028 will follow the new state-aligned diploma requirements; the board voted 5-0 to adopt the handbook changes.
The board voted to adopt recommended revisions to the high-school academic handbook, including new course additions and an acceleration of the state-aligned diploma timeline.
Key changes approved include: adding an Introduction to Public Service course (eligible for teachers with health, PE, or social-studies licenses), expanding the computer science pathway with website/database and software-development courses, renaming and restructuring the human and social-services pathway to Social and Community Services with two new courses, and moving the implementation of state graduation changes forward so the class of 2028 (current sophomores) will follow the new diploma requirements while the class of 2027 may opt in.
Board members said teachers had been consulted and change committees had reviewed the proposal; the motion to adopt the handbook changes passed by a 5-0 vote.
