Concord board approves program of studies changes, two CRTC courses and winter‑coach appointments
Summary
The board approved the high‑school program of studies (with page 6 omitted for later revision), authorized two new CRTC courses — Television & Media Production 1 and Welding Technology 1 — and confirmed several winter‑coach appointments.
School staff presented the high‑school program of studies and two Career and Technical Regional Center (CRTC) course proposals. To expedite student course selection the board voted to approve the program of studies with page 6 omitted for later revision; the omission preserves time for additional review of a specific page while allowing students to sign up.
The board approved two new CRTC courses: Television & Media Production 1 and Welding Technology 1. Board members discussed printing versus digital distribution of the program of studies; student representatives said they prefer a printed copy for highlighting and note‑taking, and members agreed to make a limited number of hard copies available for students and public events.
The board also approved winter‑coach nominations, confirming Emily Gratton as Concord High School varsity spirit coach and John Billings as CHS girls JV basketball coach. Trustees approved the consent agenda and heard brief enrollment updates, including small net gains at elementary and preschool and an increase in ELL (English-language learners) by 15 students.
The board plans follow‑up at the Jan. 12 instructional committee meeting to address feedback on page 6 and finalize materials for the February full board packet.
