CURRICULUM ADOPTION AND REVISION

CURRICULUM ADOPTION AND REVISION 6141

It is the policy of the Board that no basic course of study shall be eliminated or new courses added without approval of the Board, nor shall any major alteration or reduction of a course of study be made without such approval.

A proposed program initiative or proposed curricular change of an unusual nature or broad scope shall not be acted upon by the Board until the meeting following its presentation by the administration. This allows Board members an opportunity to review the proposed program in depth prior to decision-making. All such program proposals shall include a design for the quantitative evaluation of the program.

In order to ensure responsible educational change, programs may be introduced as pilot projects when appropriate, subject to the Board’s approval in accordance with the foregoing paragraph.
