Subject:
10. DELIBERATED ITEMS/DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORTS
Subject:
10.1. High School Program of Studies for 2020-2021
Rationale:

Each year, the Board of Education receives a presentation highlighting proposed changes to the high school program of studies booklet. This year, Bristol Eastern will be presenting the 20-21 Program of Studies.

This year’s Program of Studies has been revised to include the language articulated in the BPS Vision of the Graduate so that students and parents may see our course offerings as they relate to the Vision of the Graduate.

Along with the inclusion of the Vision of the Graduate language, the graduation requirements have been updated to reflect the differences between the requirements for next year’s juniors and seniors versus next year’s freshmen and sophomores.

Also, the course offerings by department have been designated as those that will meet the STEM required courses and electives as well as those that will meet the Humanities required courses and electives.
