Policy 6110 – Curriculum Development

The Board of Education recognizes the need and value of a systematic and on-going program of
curriculum review. The Board encourages and supports the professional staff in its efforts to
identify and review new curricular ideas, develop and improve existing programs and evaluate
all instructional programs.

The Board of Education directs the Superintendent to continuously carry out the curriculum
development and implementation process. As used in this Policy, curriculum is the process,
attitudes, skills and knowledge that is taught and learned at the appropriate levels in District
schools.

However, the Board of Education is responsible for the approval and adoption of curriculum
used by the District.

Similarly, the Board may adopt the District’s own education standards, in addition to those
already adopted by the state, provided the additional standards are in the public domain and do
not conflict with the standard adopted by the State Board of Education.
