# 2026-10-6 Teaching & Learning Committee meeting

The Germantown School District Teaching & Learning Committee met on October 6, 2026 (the meeting metadata is dated October 7). The committee approved a positive recommendation to the full board to add a civics course description to the high school course guide and offer civics as an elective next school year. The course may become a graduation requirement later, depending in part on stalled Wisconsin legislation; no course purchase or related spending was identified. Members also approved recommendations to rename the existing precalculus courses AP Precalculus AB and AP Precalculus BC and offer both for AP credit. The discussion noted that this change is largely a course-guide update, with no budget or contract amount stated.

The committee approved a pilot of the IM360 math resource for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Staff said teachers reviewed materials from HMH, Savvas, McGraw Hill, and an Open Up resource before selecting IM360 for the pilot, which is intended to inform a later decision about whether to adopt the resource more broadly. No purchase award, vendor contract, or dollar amount was reported. The committee also discussed the existing board process for addressing potentially controversial classroom topics; no policy change was proposed.
