Board approves Advanced Entrepreneurship online course and dual‑enrollment Spanish materials
Summary
The board approved an online Advanced Entrepreneurship course at Chawanakee Academy and the purchase of consumable Spanish textbooks (Adalante Dos) for Minarets High School dual‑enrollment; trustees noted consumable texts require annual replacement and a teacher with a master's can teach dual enrollment.
Ashley Bourdon, principal of Chawanakee Academy, proposed an online Advanced Entrepreneurship course intended as a second pathway completion option focused on business ownership and apprenticeship pathways. The board approved the course.
Principal Rhonda Corippo requested approval to purchase Adalante Dos Spanish texts for a dual‑enrollment course. Corippo explained the books are consumable and must be purchased yearly; she confirmed the high school has a Spanish teacher who can teach dual enrollment if they have a master's degree. The board approved the textbook purchase; Trustee Seth Waltner recorded a 'no' vote on the textbook item.
The approvals enable the district to expand CTE pathway options and support dual‑enrollment language instruction with consumable materials.
