Committee explores secondary programming
The Community Advisory Committee looked at the secondary program currently offered by the four districts and how might be enhanced in a merged district at its fourth meeting on Tuesday, March 29 at Herkimer BOCES. (view agenda as PDF)
Wrapping up elementary program
Following the discussion of elementary program at the March 2 meeting, the superintendents felt questions had gone unanswered. The administrators took a moment to answer the following questions:
What are specific ideas and examples about enhanced elementary program/ opportunities that are possible for the pupils of the four districts if resources were available through reorganization?"
How and why will these possible enhanced learning opportunities benefit the elementary children of the four-district region?
Read a summary of their responses.
Secondary programs
The committee then looked at a listing of classes and services offered in secondary school by each of the four districts. The committee also looked at a listing of data related to graduation requirements (view as PDF) and college readiness and careers (view as PDF).
The panel of superintendents, secondary school principals, and guidance counselors shared how they envision new opportunities for middle school, junior high, and high school students in a merged district. Among those opportunities are:
-
More college-level and college prep courses,
-
Expanded help for struggling students,
-
Technology courses related to 21st century jobs
-
New and expanded co-curricular activities (drama, chess, technology, debate clubs)
-
Stronger arts programs (marching band, NYSSMA, studio art, etc.)
