Lindbergh Schools board adopts annual Alternative Methods of Instruction plan
Summary
The Lindbergh Schools Board of Education on July 16 adopted the district's annual Alternative Methods of Instruction plan required by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, outlining elementary choice boards, middle school office hours plus Canvas assignments, and high school Canvas check-ins; the vote was 6-0.
The Lindbergh Schools Board of Education voted July 16 to approve the district's Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) plan for the coming school year, a state-required update that describes how students will continue learning during emergency remote days.
Dr. Terrace Sparks, who presented the plan, said the update is an annual requirement of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and is intended to clarify how remote learning would operate if the district must access an AMI day. "At the elementary level, we focus on choice boards," Dr. Sparks said. "At the middle school level, we have office hours and then assignments through Canvas for students. And then at the high school level, we're using Canvas as well as a brief check-in at the beginning of every period." He added the district typically budgets about "six emergency weather days" into the school year and prefers to use traditional weather days when possible.
Board members moved to approve the AMI plan (motion by Andy; second by Christie). The board voted unanimously to adopt the plan (motion passes 6-0).
Dr. Sparks said the district will publish the AMI procedures on the district website and make them available to families when weather forecasts suggest they may be needed.
