Curriculum & Programming Board Committee Meeting (August 12, 2026)

The Riverside Local Schools Curriculum & Programming Board Committee met on August 12, 2026, focusing primarily on instructional leadership, curriculum updates, and program funding strategies. A key procurement-related discussion involved the approval of an Auburn satellite agreement for the construction class, which allows students to be coded as Auburn students to access weighted career technical education (CTE) funds. This funding model is expected to generate additional revenue specifically earmarked for career tech supplies and salaries, thereby offsetting costs and increasing the district's financial resources for these programs. The committee also reviewed the transition to a new credit recovery platform developed by Ohio teachers, which is expected to reduce costs by eliminating the need for tutors and external providers. This platform offers state-aligned coursework and is anticipated to improve student completion rates. Other topics included updates on gifted programming expansion, preschool facility improvements, and the implementation of MTSS interventions for middle and high school students. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed beyond the Auburn agreement and credit recovery platform adoption.
