Update:
Unfortunately, the final review of the planned instructions for these courses by the technology department was not able to be completed until Friday, January 8. The updated planned instructions will be posted on Monday before the meeting.
After the review of the technology department, each of the planned instructions will be updated slightly. The committee, including Mrs. Stewart, Mr. Collopy, Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Hetrick, Ms. Solinko and Mrs. Albaugh, decided to remove some of the specific brand names from the suggested materials area and go with more general descriptions of the software required to meet certain goals of the planned instruction. This allows for name changes, upgrades and other changes of software as technology changes throughout the life of the planned instruction. One example of this is that the named keyboarding technology MicroType and MicroPace software were replaced with Keyboarding Instruction Software.
The committee did opt to maintain the brand name Microsoft Office and noted that we should be using a current product from Microsoft Office. Microsoft has been the standard system used within the business world for a number of years and the advisory committees recommended that be maintained.
The name of the planned instruction Typing Technology was updated to Personal Keyboarding since that seemed to be more descriptive of the learning that will occur in that course.
In summary, nothing of an instructional nature was changed in the planned instructions. The changes revolved only around ensuring that we could maintain current technology in an affordable way for the District.
Motion & Voting
That the Board of School Directors approves the Budget Transfers and Adjustments per the attached resoutions and documents.
Motion by Kimberly Angove, second by Jack Werner.
