Board approves switch to UW–Whitewater dual-credit curriculum for Accounting 2; materials purchase capped at $6,000
Summary
To improve transferability of dual-credit hours, the board approved switching Accounting 2 dual-credit to UW–Whitewater’s curriculum and textbooks and authorized up to $6,000 for materials for the 2026 school year.
A staff presenter explained that Accounting 2 has previously been offered for concurrent/dual credit through Lakeland University but credits did not transfer well for many students. The presenter said the district’s Accounting 2 teacher, Mr. Williams, worked to partner with the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater so credits will be more likely to transfer; “Whitewater does require that we use their curriculum and their textbooks,” the presenter said.
After brief supportive remarks from board members about career-readiness benefits and practical value of Accounting 2, the board approved a motion to purchase new materials for Accounting 2 for the 2026 school year not to exceed $6,000. The motion passed on a roll-call vote.
