Board hears that math alignment is the biggest challenge for in‑district online curriculum
Summary
District staff said state-aligned vendor courses handle most subjects but math sequencing and reintegration remain the "hardest" alignment issue when students switch between online and in-person coursework.
During questioning about curriculum, staff said the vendor's catalog is broadly aligned to state standards and handles reading, writing and many science and social studies courses. "The math has been the hardest," a presenter said, describing difficulties matching district math sequencing and transfer credits for students who move between online and in-person courses.
Staff said the district currently uses Orbed for some credit recovery but will transition full online original-credit delivery to the vendor offering. They noted that while subjects such as English and history line up reasonably well, math sequencing and nonstandard district course structures create credit and placement challenges when students change enrollment mid‑year.
The board asked staff to continue evaluating how to map vendor courses to district sequences and to propose integration processes so students changing modalities do not lose progress.
