Principal asks Mansfield board to clarify how Computer Science should be taught
Summary
Principal Lisa Guzman asked the board whether Computer Science should be a stand-alone class or integrated across core subjects, noting the district lacks a dedicated CS teacher and asking whether existing Drone or STEM coding classes meet the requirement.
Principal Lisa Guzman told the board she needs direction on the district's vision for Computer Science instruction. "What is the board's vision for how that is taught? Stand alone class or spread out throughout core content?" she asked, noting the district currently lacks a dedicated Computer Science expert and that staff training or a dedicated hire would be required for a stand-alone course.
Guzman raised whether existing offerings—specifically a Drone class or a STEM coding class—would count toward the Computer Science requirement and how CS content should be taken from or integrated with core subjects. The board discussed possibilities but the minutes record no final decision; the item remains for future direction.
