During a recent school district meeting, a parent raised concerns regarding the lack of appropriate curriculum for Advanced Placement (AP) Physics 1, which they argued violates the Williams legislation that mandates access to standards-aligned instructional materials. The parent expressed frustration that their son, who is not enrolled in calculus, was instead directed to use materials for AP Physics C, a calculus-based course.
The parent highlighted the district's financial decisions, questioning the allocation of funds towards hiring a deputy superintendent while neglecting essential educational resources. They emphasized that the district should prioritize purchasing the necessary curriculum for the courses it offers, especially given the apparent budget for administrative positions in a district facing declining enrollment.
Additionally, the parent reported issues with the district's communication regarding report cards, noting that they had difficulty obtaining their son's report card due to staffing shortages and inconsistent information from the district office.
The meeting proceeded with no further public comments, and the board moved on to approve the consent agenda without any items being pulled for separate consideration. The board unanimously approved the consent agenda, indicating a smooth continuation of routine business.
