Richland 2: curriculum defined by state; district vetting aims to meet diverse learners' needs
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Kim Moore said curriculum is defined by the state of South Carolina; local teachers and academic leaders review materials and the district's special education team evaluates supplemental content to ensure it meets diverse learning needs.
When asked about how the district selects core curriculum and instructional materials, Superintendent Dr. Kim Moore said that "curriculum is defined by the state of South Carolina," and that local teacher committees review materials and vote on curricula they believe best meet students' needs. She said the district's academic leadership and special-education staff also review supplemental materials to align with state standards and the needs of neurodivergent learners.
Moore named senior chief Jennifer Morrison and special-education leader Shaquina McLaughlin as part of the review process and said individualized requests for specialized materials will be evaluated against state criteria; the district will follow up with detailed answers to audience questions submitted during the forum.
