Board seeks input on electives, block scheduling and shared academic offerings
Summary
Board members asked for community feedback on electives, block scheduling, combining grades and rotating course offerings to expand class sizes and course availability.
The board raised academic options aimed at broadening course offerings and ensuring full credit availability. Katie Tewold listed possibilities such as offering electives on alternating years to increase class sizes, using block scheduling, combining grades for certain classes and rotating electives so more students could access courses.
Tewold said these ideas are starter points for table discussions and asked attendees whether such approaches would meet student needs. No formal proposals were adopted; notes from the small groups will inform whether the board pursues any scheduling or course changes.
