Summary

Curriculum coordinators summarized summer curriculum projects across ELA, math, science, art, music, world language and physical education, and said district AI guidelines were added to student and employee handbooks and shared with the community.

Curriculum Coordinators Jennifer Beermuender and Heather Rigatti provided an overview of summer curriculum work intended to increase college- and career-readiness. They listed multiple subject-specific projects including vocabulary development across ELA, math and science; revised Grade 4–5 social studies units; vertically aligned K–8 art curriculum; algebra and geometry tasks aligned to SAT preparation; band and general music progression; middle school world-language assessments; and enhanced high school physical-education curriculum.

The coordinators also said the district rolled out AI guidelines: "Included in school handbooks for students and families; included in employee handbook, shared at staff meetings; shared with community in Superintendent Weekly Update." The K–8 math core resource review process is underway and will inform the 2026–27 budget recommendation.
