8.E. Special Courses Approval for 2019-2020
Speaker(s):
Meredith Park
Rationale:
Attached are the special course approval applications for the two courses in which we wish to offer at Houston High School for the 2019-2020 school year: Humanities (Honors) and Organic Chemistry (Honors). The application process has changed and is now completed online. We have adjusted last year’s paper application for the board to be able to review all of the content. Once we have an approval from the board, We will transfer all of the information into the jot form, which will require a digital signature by the board chairperson and superintendent. Our intent is to do this prior to the board meeting, and We plan to have them sign our submission at the end of the board meeting, if approved.
