Board adopts new curriculum additions including ELA Lab and AP Senior Seminar
Summary
The board approved curriculum adoptions across grade levels — Creative Curriculum (PreK), Gifted and Talented Art (K–5), new ELA LAB (6–8), 'Introduction to Mysteries of History' and AP Senior Seminar — and discussed the Springfield Leadership course after a member request.
The Springfield Board of Education approved several curriculum adoptions for the 2025–2026 school year on Nov. 17, including Creative Curriculum for PreK, Gifted and Talented Art for grades K–5, an ELA LAB program for grades 6–8 (listed as new), and AP Senior Seminar for high school. The board also approved 'Introduction to Mysteries of History' as a new middle-school offering and Springfield Leadership (grades 11–12).
During the School Administration committee approval Mrs. Silva asked for more information about the Springfield Leadership course; Miss Silva, the student representative, responded to the query during the meeting. The adoptions were presented as part of the superintendent’s recommendations and approved by motion and roll call.
