The committee discussed proposed adjustments to the school's program of studies, including modifications to Heritage Language Learner courses, CTE senior course sequencing, an ESL 3C instructional pathway pilot, and credit recovery options through PLTW forensics and clinical care. The committee debated a proposed pilot for an Algebra 1 double-block for grade nine students. Furthermore, the committee reviewed the renewal of the Lexia contract, proposing to discontinue its use in Kindergarten and grades 3-5 to reallocate time for core instruction and human-led intervention, while maintaining focused usage in grades 1 and 2.
