District 7 officials cite Explorer Academy in Fargo as the model for Pathways
Summary
District officials said they studied the Explorer Academy model in Fargo — which attaches a Level 4 program to an elementary school — and used that as a blueprint for Pathways in Williston.
District officials said the Pathways concept was informed by a visit to Explorer Academy in Fargo, where a Level 4 program is attached to an elementary school. Dr. Jermanton said staff visited Explorer Academy and that the district’s Chief Academic Officer and Special Ed Director used that model to develop the local program.
Sean Huss described Explorer Academy as an example of a Level 4 program connected to an elementary campus: "Where they have a level 4 attached to 1 of their elementary schools." Officials said the Fargo visit helped "get the ball rolling" on Pathways and guided decisions about facility layout and programming.
