Enhancement of Curriculum Middle School Electives 7th electives would be exploratory in nature and include current electives by middle school teachers. 8th electives would be current electives with Woods and Computer Applications that introductory classes to HS Pathways. Continue to look at additional electives for both grades such as Spanish, Ag, and FACS. All electives are dependent on personnel certification. High School Until the first year with MS is completed, enhanced classes at the high school level will consist of additional sections of certain classes BOE approved hiring of additional high school teacher and the recommendation at this time is for it to be a Business teacher. Classes that are being discussed for following years include: Entrepreneurship, Business Economics, Business Law, Interactive Media, Game Design, Marketing, Media & Public Relations
Rooms Needed Middle School Reading Writing/technology lab Math 7 Math 8 Special Education* Autism classroom* PE classroom for health/Gifted** Science with tile flooring Social studies High School 2 Computer Labs Special Education * Could be shared if large enough space. ** Could be shared dependent on schedule.
Additional Personnel Needs with the addition of Middle School students Business teacher BOE approved an additional teacher position earlier in the year. 1 cook 1 custodian .75 nurse (already have a .25 position) 1 autism teacher Para support for special needs students
Concerns A shared vision for what we want for USD 378 students ADA accessible bathrooms, doorways, and ramps Time enough to have buildings physically ready for August start date. Modular moved in June Could the modular be used by high school students while renovating the high school building for middle school? Example would be if special education and autism is housed in the current FACS room What is temporary? Will there be a full time nurse on site? Safety / security More doors now could be unlocked
Concerns, page 2 Additional storage space Athletics PE Practice locations Tunnel clean out Negotiated agreement Plan time Additional cost of adding books at both HS & GS libraries. Other concerns such as logistics, transitioning, technology, student handbooks, communication between buildings, and student lockers can be addressed by administration. -Art -Band
