The Board approved a package of instructional investments intended to expand college and career supports and classroom technology. Members approved a $265,000 contract with Kaplan to provide ACT preparation for all juniors (funded through Title I and local funds), which will include continuous online access, two in-person Kaplan instructors, and elective credit for participating students. Administrators said the per-student breakdown represents a significant savings for families compared with private tutoring.
The Board also approved a $17,259 Certiport subscription to offer Microsoft Office Specialist credentials to freshmen and sophomores (funded by the CTEI Perkins grant and local funds) and authorized the purchase of Anatomage anatomy tables and subscription for $115,490, with subscription costs covered by CTEI Perkins, Title IV and local funds. Science and health-pathway staff described realistic cadaver cases and classroom benefits; administrators confirmed software licensing details and renewal cadence during questions.
