# Curriculum Committee Meeting - 10/6/2026

The West Bend School District Curriculum Committee met on October 6, 2026, to review a proposed future middle school model, annual high school course-planning changes, student trips, and the process for forming a Human Growth and Development Advisory Committee. Staff described a middle school schedule with more core instructional time, including 90 minutes for math, and exploratory electives that expand students’ exposure and choice across grades six through eight. The committee discussed tradeoffs involving music and world-language access and the effects on staffing; the model and course descriptions were presented for review before further development and consideration by the full board. High school course-guide revisions included new technical-college credit courses, expanded physical education options, updated course pathways and prerequisites, and courses being discontinued by the technical college. No procurement awards, purchasing motions, or spending votes were identified.

The committee also reviewed returning annual trips and proposals from the Spanish club, band, softball, and choir, including proposed travel to Costa Rica, Disney World, and other destinations. Trip proposals included estimated costs and fundraising plans where provided, but the transcript records feedback rather than an approval vote. Staff outlined a process and timeline for recruiting and selecting members of a Human Growth and Development Advisory Committee to review state-required curriculum components. No specific contract awards, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed.
