Board members and administrators discussed a district review of high-school math sequencing. Stacy Bell summarized committee conversations and said the district committee recommended returning to an algebra 1 → geometry → algebra 2 sequence instead of the integrated math model. Bell said the Kansas Board of Regents has been reviewing mathematics expectations for college and career fields and that the Regents’ work led the district to consider whether Algebra 2 should be required for all students or whether alternative applied or statistics pathways should be offered. Bell described the Regents’ view in the meeting record: that about 80% of colleges expect or require college algebra, while a smaller share of career fields require calculus or college algebra; colleges are exploring alternate pathways such as statistics or contemporary mathematics for some students.

Separately, a district presenter identified as Cece described the proposed middle-school elective for eighth graders as a course called “History of Film,” which would combine English language arts and social studies by examining how film production and audiences changed across historical periods, including wartime and the pandemic.

The board voted to approve the middle-school course proposal unanimously (recorded in the transcript as 7 yes, 0 no). Board staff said secondary math committee work will continue and that the district will bring draft calendar and curriculum maps for further board review in coming meetings.

No final policy changes on graduation requirements or course mandates were adopted at this meeting; the discussion was presented as committee work that will inform future recommendations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Shawnee Heights Board of Education Meeting - 01-06-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board discussed possible changes to high-school math sequencing in response to Kansas Board of Regents guidance and approved a new middle-school elective, \"History of Film,\" that integrates English language arts and social studies.","taxTitle","Shawnee Heights, School Boards, Kansas","taxId",70125,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341345,"Shawnee Heights approves Cisco Smart Net renewal, switches vendor to Logicalis",114,776000,890000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2257101-2f205b247cd8caa5d79881eb92ca4e0b&start=776&end=890","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2257101-2f205b247cd8caa5d79881eb92ca4e0b/thumbnail_776000.jpg","/articles/6341345/Kansas/Shawnee-Heights-approves-Cisco-Smart-Net-renewal-switches-vendor-to-Logicalis","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341345-b60730a5a68c004b6d03b21ac89e2af6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771041364&Signature=QhGdkCZNKfebb5crbXlMJGTUkQqhl3XNpIp48ynVY~jZ-6TXmAtxnHXygdgnbzeXsVnwLjiPW2rPmo6luCibQCHAMIPW0dkmRbIndguKuO~mc0XkSTRkqzPaUOA4-pX8Vmpgj0qMh0P145X7grv9uwh8cKox1rY8NCJninOwp2nWQNf4AdikM~kJ0L55f-Tu3e0h6QNXjnEpNmnHLwpSPJchYfmzQ92WEwzpSf-Tr~XmeXNQ~fpkTl5oJ0l2n60Rj~d4Gq8RH17YJqf32OF7PJmj1NMUFRtx2X1WyNc08JZfpPv8CE44Paqf3rwpXT1GwAC3Rhtncdcu1uJNsNOI2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shawnee Heights Board of Education approved renewal of its Cisco Smart Net support and licensing agreement, and staff reported the district switched vendors to Logicalis, which reduced the renewal cost relative to the previous vendor.

IT staff explained Cisco Smart Net covers support and licensing for firewalls, wireless controllers, switches and other network equipment. District staff said they removed a few aging devices from support lists because replacement cost was lower than continued support. The presenter said switching from ConvergentOne to Logicalis produced a modest savings: “it actually come in about a thousand dollars less to go with Logicalis than it did to go with C1,” according to the transcript.

The motion to approve the Cisco Smart Net renewal carried with a recorded tally of 6 yes and 1 no.

Board members discussed no substantive changes to service coverage in the meeting record; the recorded discussion focused on vendor change, cost and that many of the same technicians moved from the previous vendor to Logicalis.","The Shawnee Heights Board approved renewal of Cisco Smart Net support and licensing, and staff said the district switched vendors to Logicalis, which reduced costs by about $1,000 compared with the prior vendor.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341348,"Erica Price elected Shawnee Heights board president; Sarah Sanders chosen vice president",2655,104000,2759000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2257101-2f205b247cd8caa5d79881eb92ca4e0b&start=104&end=2759","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2257101-2f205b247cd8caa5d79881eb92ca4e0b/thumbnail_104000.jpg","/articles/6341348/Kansas/Erica-Price-elected-Shawnee-Heights-board-president-Sarah-Sanders-chosen-vice-president","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341348-762b631d396056b0ebecc8cf597f7b58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771041364&Signature=Yp9Md-wuL-J097nrqst5Ro8xcuA9hekU-PJwRJPvHb3TuQf-HRhhISg3-IbB594aMURyMeS8zdPceq20zP70pLbPqJ01~9cHqBJ7LGSeYkXjACHAwtumYdO27627NwqiHAtgxdHgnYMyVx144BKBclQwVpAI4vgWI-YrM-QcwVO~l79~YNPomX3mCr7vpPOhggv7mX5IB3LvIXbGyp1N8qDiXeakLjG0pV0bpjzboYAyuIBas-NOiqfe95ZFlfzt8PTQgbuHgdjUcRL583lnleVIhw56yzSSOhx4byPXiEQ8uAsfRU0hfSItejCsq-zJNPHSk7k8BK3rTRlTfXXO8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During a Shawnee Heights Board of Education meeting held via Zoom, members elected Erica Price as board president and Sarah Sanders as vice president and approved routine agenda and minutes items.
