2220 - ADOPTION OF COURSES OF STUDY
The Board shall provide a comprehensive instructional program to serve the educational needs of the students of this District. In furtherance of this goal and pursuant to law, the Board shall periodically adopt courses of study through inclusion in the sequential curriculum plan described in Policy 2210 - Curriculum Development. A course of study is part of the sequential curriculum plan that describes course objectives, sequence, content, and a method of evaluating student attainment of objectives.
The Board shall determine which units of the instructional program constitute courses of study and are thereby subject to the adoption procedures of the Board. No course of study shall be taught in the schools of this District unless it has been adopted by the Board.
The District Administrator shall recommend to the Board such courses of study as are deemed to be in the best interests of the students and are needed to comply with State law. The District Administrator's recommendation shall include the following information about each course of study:
the intended learning objective(s), defined in terms of how the learning is applied
its scope and sequence and a statement of the rationale used to determine the amount and type of instructional time needed to accomplish the objectives at each level
the resources that its implementation will require, including instructional materials, equipment, specially-trained personnel, etc.
Each course of study is intended to provide a basic framework for instruction and learning. Within this framework, each teacher shall use the course of study in a manner best designed to meet the needs of the students for whom they are responsible.
The District Administrator shall maintain a current list of all courses of study offered by this District.
