10. DELIBERATED ITEMS/DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORTS
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10.1. Midterm Schedule for High Schools
Presenter:
Carly Fortin
Rationale:
In January of 2018, the Board of Education approved having a half-day exam schedule for the high school. Students take two exams per day for four days, each exam lasting two hours. Teachers work full days for these four days. Since this change was made after the Board of Education had approved the school year calendar, these half-days do not appear on the district calendar for 2018-2019. This year, provided there are no snow cancellations, students will take their midterm exams on: January 18, 22, 23, and 24. In the event of snow cancellations prior to January 18th, the midterm exam schedule would be pushed forward for each day that is canceled due to snow.

11. CURRICULUM REVISIONS
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11.1. Accounting II Curriculum
Rationale:
The Accounting II Curriculum was last approved in 2006. Since 2006, the Career and Technical Education standards for the State of Connecticut have been revised, necessitating the revision of the curriculum for this course. A curriculum revision was also needed in order to better articulate our Bristol High School Accounting course with the standards for Accounting 113 at Tunxis Community College. By aligning our curriculum with the Tunxis course, we will be able to offer our course for dual-enrollment through one of the College Career Pathways with the college. The revised curriculum addresses the most recent expectations within the State of CT Curricular Framework for Business and Finance in the accounting area. At the same time, the course will also meet the requirements necessary for articulation with Tunxis Community College. When students successfully satisfy the expectations for Accounting II, they will be eligible to earn three credits at Tunxis Community College for Accounting 113/Principles of Financial Accounting. Mrs. Laurie Roberge and Mrs. Sharon Jacques along with the members of the Business department should be recognized for their diligent efforts to write this engaging and rigorous curriculum for our students in Accounting.

Students in Manufacturing Design will be learning the skills necessary to attain Mastercam certification, a certificate that is valued by manufacturers. The revised curriculum addresses the most recent expectations within the State of CT Curricular Framework for technology education. Mr. Gregory Diaz and Mr. Nick Piotrowski along with the members of the Engineering and Technology Education department should be recognized for their diligent efforts to write this engaging and rigorous curriculum for our students in Manufacturing Design.
