The board approved a superintendent proposal to award science elective credit for approved agricultural education courses beginning with the 2026-27 school year and to add the change to the course handbook.
"Mr. Shoemaker's been working hard on that," the superintendent told the board when presenting the item. Board members asked clarifying questions about how the credit would apply (not a one-for-one substitution) and were told the proposal specifies a schedule to ensure students meet science-credit requirements while giving agricultural students an avenue to satisfy a science elective. The consent item was approved by voice vote with no recorded dissent.
The change is intended to provide flexibility for students pursuing agriculture pathways and will be reflected in the district's course handbook before the start of the school year.
