District unveils CHOICE program for fifth graders after DARE gap
Summary
The superintendent reported a new fifth‑grade program called CHOICE (Creating Habits Of Integrity, Character, and Excellence) was developed after the DARE program was unavailable; Officer Rollins and elementary staff collaborated on topics.
Administrators told the board that, because the DARE program was not available this year, the district worked with Officer Rollins, elementary school staff and counselors to develop a local alternative for fifth graders called CHOICE. The minutes record the program’s purpose and spell out the acronym: "CHOICE is an acronym which stands for Creating Habits Of Integrity, Character, and Excellence."
The minutes say staff chose topics they felt were important for fifth‑grade instruction. No implementation schedule or budget figures for CHOICE were recorded in the minutes; the program is presented as a district initiative to fill the gap left by DARE.
