04/29/2026 Regular Student Achievement & Outcomes Committee Meeting

The Bristol Public Schools Student Achievement & Outcomes Committee met on April 29, 2026. The committee received an informational presentation on a planned CNA pilot for the next school year, funded through the Perkins grant. Bristol plans to work with Excel Academy, which quoted $1,638 per student for instruction, uniforms, and textbooks; the district would provide classroom space and staff supervision. Each high school needs at least 15 students to run the course, with capacity around 20. The program would offer students an industry-recognized credential and clinical experience. No contract award or procurement vote was reported. The committee also discussed a summer PE elective, whose estimated district cost was about $1,900, and voted to forward it to the full Board.

The committee reviewed chemistry, health, and English curriculum revisions and discussed language-learner supports, family communication about reading materials, and student achievement data. Motions passed to advance the health and English revisions to the full Board; the transcript also indicates a chemistry curriculum motion, but the vote is unclear. The committee approved the January 21 minutes. No other purchasing decisions or contract awards were identified.
