Subject: Approval of Middle School Novels
Vision 2026:
Academic Excellence Strategies 1
Implement learning acceleration strategies and programming.
Policy:
Background Middle School novels were last approved by the Board in 2004 and 2006. Additionally, the Vision 2022 plan included the goal to provide experiences and instruction to develop students’ appreciation of cultures and diversity. One way to provide these educational experiences is to expand the collection of books read by students so that they see themselves reflected in the text and can learn about others.
