Summary
Scottsbluff Public Schools will pilot CodeHS digital curriculum in 2025–26 (two instructors) for $6,694 to meet Nebraska Computer Science and Technology Education Act requirements for graduation; district previously used a free version and plans a one-year paid pilot.
The board approved a one-year pilot of CodeHS digital curriculum for the 2025–26 school year at a cost of $6,694, district staff reported.
"We're recommending the CodeHS curriculum because it will enhance the IT fundamentals course at HHS," the presenter said, explaining the platform offers introductory programming, AP computer science, web design, cybersecurity and industry-recognized certifications. The district used a free version last year and said the paid version provides additional flexibility and features. Two instructors will run the pilot.
Board members asked about instructor assignments and committee review; staff confirmed local teachers reviewed the platform and that community/committee members had been involved in selecting the curriculum. The motion to approve the purchase carried on a roll-call vote.
