The West Bend School District Curriculum Committee met on October 6, 2026, to discuss a proposed future middle school model, revisions to the high school course planning guide, student trips, and formation of a Human Growth and Development Advisory Committee. The middle school model would expand exploratory electives, adjust music and world-language options by grade, and provide more instructional time for core subjects, including 90 minutes for math. Staff described the course descriptions as preliminary and said they would continue developing them for board consideration. High school guide changes included new technical-college articulated courses, a personal fitness offering, revised course pathways and prerequisites, and courses to be discontinued because the partner college is ending them.

The committee also reviewed returning and proposed student trips, including proposals for Spanish Club travel to Costa Rica, band travel to Disney World, softball travel, and choir travel; trip costs were referenced but no amounts are legible in the transcript. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, procurement votes, or spending motions were identified. The committee discussed a process for recruiting and selecting members for the Human Growth and Development Advisory Committee, with the process and subsequent recommendations to go to the school board for consideration.
