Board hears curriculum updates, state testing, and new mandates on financial literacy and climate education
Summary
The Curriculum & Instruction report noted state testing, the requirement for financial literacy and climate education in all schools, IReady incentives, hatching animals in classrooms, and several student events and safety programs.
During the Curriculum and Instruction report, Mrs. Ordway reviewed spring activities and instructional items, including state testing, professional development, and a new statewide curriculum requirement that all schools teach financial literacy and climate education.
The minutes note student-focused classroom activities such as hatching ducks and tadpoles, IReady incentives (winners will duct-tape a staff member to a wall), bike helmet fittings with donations, and a postponed Kids on the Block event. "Curriculum change of all schools having to teach financial literacy and climate education," the minutes state.
These items were received as an informational report; no board action on curriculum change was recorded in these minutes beyond acknowledgment of the new state requirements.
