TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee 9.29.26 - LIVE

The TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee met on September 29, 2026. A motion was made to approve the August 31 committee minutes, but the transcript does not capture a second or vote. The committee discussed adding Michigan Virtual High School and Subject courses to the district catalog, including online options for English learners and students with scheduling needs or seeking credit recovery. No contract award, vendor selection, or course-related spending approval was identified.

Much of the discussion focused on special education and student mental-health supports: IEP services and placements, an upcoming Michigan Department of Education special-education audit, staffing needs for a proposed intermediate support program, and districtwide social-work and behavioral-health services. Members noted state categorical funding through 31N and 31A, grant-supported services through Western Michigan University, and concern that future funding levels may not sustain current staffing. The district also reported launching a mobile health clinic and expanding community-provider coordination. No procurement action or specific purchasing amount was identified.
