After DARE hiatus, Mason launches CHOICE curriculum for fifth graders
Summary
Superintendent’s report said the CHOICE program (Creating Habits Of Integrity, Character, and Excellence) was developed after DARE was unavailable; Officer Rollins helped design the curriculum with principals, staff and counselors for fifth-grade students.
The Mason Consolidated Schools Board heard details of a new fifth-grade initiative called CHOICE during the Superintendent's report on Feb. 4. The minutes say the program was put in place this year because the DARE program was not available to the district; at the start of the year, Officer Rollins "consulted with the principal, staff, and counselors of the elementary school to design a program for our district." The district described CHOICE as focused on topics district staff identified as important for fifth graders.
The minutes include the program acronym: "CHOICE is an acronym which stands for Creating Habits Of Integrity, Character, and Excellence." The board did not take formal action on CHOICE at the meeting; it was presented as an academic/program update in the Superintendent's report.
