TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee 8.31.26 - LIVE

The TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee met on August 31, 2026, to discuss various educational programs and updates. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of the 2026-2027 TCAPS district course catalog and the recommendation to appoint co-chairs for the Sex Education Advisory Board, both slated for the September 14, 2026, board meeting agenda. The committee also reviewed the structure and outcomes of Traverse City High School's alternative and virtual learning programs, highlighting flexible scheduling, credit recovery options, and wraparound services to support student success. Additionally, the committee discussed summer school programming, including staffing, curriculum, and the financial implications of expanding summer school to more students, estimating costs near one million dollars to run comprehensive programs at select elementary schools. While no direct contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, the discussions on program expansions and platform usage (such as the Subject online platform) suggest ongoing procurement considerations for educational services and resources.
