5.1 - Superintendent Report: Curriculum Presentations

• Last meeting we discussed Board Policy related to oversight of curriculum
• The Board expressed an interest in being more informed about what curriculum is used by teachers to they could answer questions from constituents
• The Board also expressed a desire to NOT micromanage or inappropriately interfere with teacher and administrative responsibilities
• Idea:
• Similar to Dept Chair monthly reports, but this year, focus on curriculum

• Specific questions from the Board for specific departments could be shared ahead of time so they could be addressed during these presentations
