Big Spring SD staff to present cursive curriculum for board approval Sept. 2
Summary
District staff said on Aug. 18 that the cursive curriculum will be finalized and placed on the Sept. 2 board meeting agenda for official approval; no formal vote occurred at the Committee of the Whole.
District staff told the Committee of the Whole on Aug. 18 that the cursive curriculum developed by Mrs. Donato and her team will be completed and presented for formal approval at the Sept. 2 board meeting.
A staff member told the board, "it'll be presented at the September 2 board meeting," and said the district first wanted to put application logistics in place before seeking official approval. Board members asked questions about assessment compatibility and reinforcement in classrooms.
During questions, presenters confirmed that Keystone assessments have been administered online for several years and that the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) is moving assessments online in the 2025–26 school year; presenters said this reinforced the need to continue keyboarding instruction alongside handwriting. No motion or vote on the curriculum took place at the Aug. 18 session; the next formal action would come when the full board considers the item on Sept. 2.
