Superintendent of Curriculum, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Aug 8, 2013 - Workshop Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Recommended Action : Motion to approve the adoption of middle school and high school courses. Public Content The STEMM Academy needed a course approved for the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year. Due to a mid summer change in administration, the course was submitted to the Office of Curriculum & Instruction on August 6 resulting in the late submission for the Board agenda. The office of Curriculum & Instruction is taking this opportunity to also request Board approval of two Pre-AICE courses that will give high schools that offer AICE curriculum some relief from class size requirements. These Pre-AICE courses have been removed from class size requirements in a recent release from DOE. Schools may be able to substitute these courses in place of World History Honors and Biology I Honors which still fall under class size. File Attachments Course Adoptions 8-12 meeting.pdf (202 KB) Consent Our adopted rules of Parliamentary Procedure, Robert's Rules, provide for a consent agenda listing several items for approval of the Board by a single motion.
