Board hears plans for new pathways, dual‑credit courses and expanded STEM/ag options
Summary
Administrators outlined additions to the 2026–27 course catalog including new ag/natural resources and dual‑credit pathways, revised junior high course descriptions, and expanded upper‑level science options tied to new hires and grant funding.
District leaders presented proposed curriculum and pathway expansions for 2026–27, highlighting dual‑credit options, a new natural‑resources ag pathway and enhanced upper‑level science and engineering pathways tied to recent hires and grant activity.
A presenter described the new ag pathway: "We are going to be adding another version of an ag pathway... It's gonna be the natural resources," and said about 10 students have already expressed interest who will feed into the pathway as juniors. Administrators also said new science pathways will include dual‑credit options tied to existing instructors and external partners.
The administration noted it added course descriptions at junior‑high levels so parents understand honors and pathways; the board discussed course counts and the practical benefit of keeping courses in the catalog even if they may not run in a particular year. The proposed catalog was moved later in the meeting; the transcript records the proposal and discussion, not a final recorded vote on each listed course.
