In good news, Girty shared that through the leadership of Cherokee High School (CHS) Agriculture Teacher David Anderson, the school is reviving its Future Farmers of America (FFA) Chapter. Girty said FFA will be part of Career & Technical Education (CTE) programming. Girty said Anderson shared that his students were successful in his animal science course, which he said is a hard class with a difficult standardized test. Girty said she and Anderson are looking for areas around the CCS campus for a dedicated FFA field. Girty said she is impressed by the passion and expertise Anderson brings to his classroom, and she is excited to see what the FFA chapter will accomplish. Girty also shared that she is planning a CCS Alumni Panel to discuss the Cherokee Core Values and hear the alumni experience on how the values were applied in their time as a student at CCS, and how they can be further applied for future students. Girty said the panel will also include 1-hour long breakout sessions with cultural specialists like Cherokee fluent speaker Tom Belt, Dr. Brett Riggs, Roseanna Belt, and a growing list of other experts. She said the breakout sessions will include a range of topics from Cherokee language, Cherokee intellectual history and astronomy, Indian boarding schools, native plants, and more. She said she hopes the breakout sessions will be an ongoing program for Cultural Caring Days and early release workdays at CCS. CCS Finance Director Dr. Debora Foerst and CBC Finance Director Rhonica Via shared the financial report. There were no major updates, except the School Resource Officer (SRO) Invoice. The Board voted to approve the invoice with a motion by Reed-Cooper seconded by Swimmer. Chairperson Thompson said she remembered signing an MOU with Cherokee Indian Police Department (CIPD) that deemed funding for some of the SROs would be provided by the Office of the Ugvwiyuhi (Principal Chief). She said she remembered that occurring under former Ugvwiyuhi Richard G. Sneed's administration. Girty said she would look into that, but the only MOU she had found was one from 2021 that did not state any funding would come from anywhere else. An update to the job description for the Career and Technical Education Curriculum and Instructional Management Coordinator was approved with a motion by Davis seconded by Reed-Cooper. Girty shared information with the board regarding the courses of study for students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The courses of study are: 1) Future Ready, which is a high school diploma, where students will complete the standard NC high school curriculum, earn at least 22 credits, take all the required courses and electives, and receive accommodations and specialized instruction if needed through an IEP or 504 plan. 2) Occupational Course of Study (OCS) high school diploma, where the student will complete modified academic coursework, earn at least 22 credits, take all the required courses and electives, receive accommodations and specialized instruction if needed through an IEP, and complete work experience. 3) OCS graduation certificate, where the student will learn through modified academic standards, develop communication, independent living, employment and daily living skills, receive highly individualized instruction, and learn in smaller classroom settings designed to meet individual needs. Girty said the course of study is a decision made with the IEP team, including the parent or guardian, to choose a course of study "that best matches the child's strengths, needs, and future goals." Girty said the courses of study are made standard by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Attorney Ashley Leonard shared information regarding service animals for students. Leonard said if a student has a service animal and it is readily apparent as to why, such as a student with a seeing eye dog, you cannot ask that student about their service animal. If a student has a service animal and it is not readily apparent as to why, you can ask the student, and if the student does express need for the service animal, for example as a diabetic alert dog, then the school cannot remove the animal. The school cannot take care of the animal; it is the student's responsibility to take care of the animal, such as to clean up after the animal. Special arrangements can be made if the student is unable to care for the animal. Updates to policies 3225-4312-7320 Technology Responsible Use, 4307 Disciplinary Action for Exceptional Children/Students with Disabilities, 4342 Student Searches (drug dog), 5071-7351 Electronically Stored Information Retention, 7010 Indian Preference, 7130 Licensure, were approved. Updates to policies 4130 Discretionary Admission and 4120 Domicile or Residence Requirements, were held for closed session. Heather Driver introduced the Cherokee Central School System Paraprofessional Pathway Program. The program is "designed to create a sustainable pipeline of qualified instructional support personnel by preparing high school students for employment as paraprofessionals within the local education agency upon graduation." Driver said the program is a way to address staffing shortages by developing a local workforce pipeline and providing employment opportunities for CHS graduates. The Board approved the program with a motion by Reed-Cooper seconded by Swimmer. Davis shared that he looked into getting State Champion road signs for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 Lady Braves Varsity Basketball Champions. He said the board has two options: 1) The green and white reflective state road signs 2) BIA road signs that can be customized. Davis said his contact is CDOT Transportation Planner Trace Lambert. Girty announced that the NCHSAA Men's and Women's Wrestling Regionals will be held at CCS this year. The Board approved donations for the families of James Wayne Maney and Mark Steven Lambert who passed away recently. Toineeta said her community club appreciated the statistics report provided by Girty and CHS Principal Craig Barker detailing the successes of CHS students. The Board entered closed session at 7:03 p.m. The next meetings are scheduled for Aug. 3 and Aug. 17 in the Central Office Board Room at 4:45 p.m.
Online learning platform. Jaimie Blanton June 1, 2026 Myrtle Point School District will be offering an online educational option for students who currently attend programs such as Winter Lakes, Baker Academy, Connections Academy, and other online schools. Its goal is to provide a high-quality online alternative that allows students residing within its district to remain enrolled in a Myrtle Point School District-sponsored program. After doing research Myrtle Point School District has selected Edmentum to provide its online learning platform. Edmentum provides Oregon-certified teachers who will deliver all instruction. In addition, Edmentum offers a variety of academic and student support systems within its platform. Should students require additional assistance beyond what Edmentum provides, the district will offer support when requested. Initially, the majority of students enrolled in the program will participate in a fully online model. As the program develops, Myrtle Point School District may explore additional options, including hybrid learning opportunities and expanded support services based on student needs. Students enrolled through Edmentum will remain Myrtle Point School District students and will graduate from Myrtle Point School District upon successful completion of graduation requirements. Online students will be eligible to participate in athletics. However, because they are not attending Myrtle Point schools in a traditional setting, they will not receive all the same privileges available to students enrolled on campus. In the future, Myrtle Point School District may consider allowing online students access to selected elective courses. At this time, the district is not planning to add staff specifically to support the Edmentum program. Edmentum is designed to be self-supporting and provides instructional and support services as part of the program. If enrollment numbers increase significantly and additional district support becomes necessary, Myrtle Point School District will evaluate staffing needs at that time. Edmentum also provides special education services for eligible students. However, Myrtle Point School District will continue to be responsible for students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Because of these considerations, students receiving special education services will be considered for online enrollment on an individual basis. Students who choose to enroll in the online program will be expected to remain in the program. Enrollment should be viewed as a commitment. It is important to understand that Edmentum is not an alternative school. Rather, it is an alternative educational setting that offers a robust online curriculum and can be an excellent fit for students who are motivated and committed to independent learning. Students who are successful in this environment are typically those who are prepared to take ownership of their education and actively engage in their coursework. If you have questions or concerns regarding this program, please feel free to contact me by email. Thank you, Steve Perkins
Fort Bend ISD approves $4.2M agreement for virtual high school provider. By Bradley Dountz | 4:34 PM May 12, 2026 CDT Updated 4:34 PM May 12, 2026 CDT Fort Bend ISD has selected a third-party contractor for its virtual high school set to begin this fall. At a May 11 meeting, Fort Bend ISD's board of trustees voted to enter into a $4.2 million agreement with educational software company Edmentum to supply instructional and programming services for the district's upcoming virtual high school. The online high school will offer 100 rising ninth graders entering the 2026-27 school year the opportunity to take accredited courses that are entirely virtual, according to the district's website. Grade level expansion is a possibility if enrollment increases over time. The online school is a part of the district's FBISD Redesigned program aimed at retaining and attracting students to the district, Community Impact previously reported. Zooming in Edmentum will be responsible for providing Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills-aligned digital curriculum, instructional resources and academic support that satisfy state standards and graduation requirements at a personalized pace for each student, per agenda documents. The contractor will also be responsible for helping faculty monitor student performance and stepping in when necessary by progress monitoring, assessment and data reporting. Additionally, professional learning and implementation support will be available to ensure staff are properly trained on how to teach the online curriculum as well as to reinforce student engagement. Expenditures, which are included in the 2026-27 budget, will be 100% offset by the average daily attendance revenue, per agenda documents. If attendance rates meet the district average of 95%, the virtual high school is expected to generate a net total of $3,529 per student when subtracting the average daily attendance revenue from the cost per student. Next steps The three-year contract will begin July 1 with two optional one-year extensions, per agenda documents. Meanwhile, students who applied for enrollment will be notified of their acceptance the week of May 11, per the district's website.

Edmentum and Roadtrip Nation Q&A: integrating career exploration into core curriculum. Mar 19, 2026 Edmentum has teamed up with Roadtrip Nation to launch its first-ever integration of real-world career storytelling directly into core, credit-bearing curriculum. Codesigned with Edmentum, this partnership brings Roadtrip Nation's student-driven career exploration interviews straight into Edmentum Courseware, infusing lessons with authentic voices and lived experiences. By embedding these stories seamlessly into evidence-based curriculum, Edmentum, Inc. is giving students meaningful, relevant connections that spark curiosity and support college and career readiness, all without adding extra work for teachers. What is Roadtrip Nation? Roadtrip Nation, known for its Emmy Award-winning career exploration videos available through PBS, produces unscripted interviews of professionals talking candidly about their paths, challenges, doubts, and decisions in their professional journeys. After engaging, 69% of students reported viewing their education as relevant to their lives. These student-led conversations provide an honest look into people who have built meaningful careers, often in unexpected ways, to prompt thinking and curiosity. The results are clear: after watching, 61% of students discovered career paths they hadn't previously considered. Why are Edmentum and Roadtrip Nation collaborating? The partnership is designed to directly address two of the biggest challenges facing K-12 education today - low student engagement, including chronic absenteeism, and the widespread lack of preparedness for postsecondary pathways. By weaving authentic career stories into everyday learning, the initiative brings real-world relevance into the classroom, helping students see purpose in what they're studying. These genuine narratives not only make lessons more meaningful but also strengthen students' sense of agency, empowering them to take ownership of their futures. How will the videos be integrated into the curriculum? Roadtrip Nation videos will be embedded directly into Edmentum Courseware lessons, enhancing learning without disrupting the proven curriculum already in place. Each video is carefully curated by Edmentum's curriculum experts to ensure standards alignment and relevance, while the student-led interview style brings an authentic, curiosity-driven energy to instruction. This approach not only enriches the learning experience but also invites students to actively connect with real stories and real people. What benefits does Roadtrip Nation bring to students? Students will gain clear, real-world connections to the concepts they're learning by hearing from diverse professionals who share their personal career journeys. These stories help students build a stronger sense of relevance and agency, sparking curiosity and opening their eyes to pathways they may not have previously considered. Backed by research, the integration also supports improved engagement and attendance, creating a more meaningful and motivating learning experience. How does this help with student engagement? Research shows the impact is already clear: in a San Jose study, nearly seven in ten students reported that their education felt more relevant after engaging with Roadtrip Nation content. Edmentum Courseware's digital curricula augments that with a layer of mastery-based, active learning that keeps students motivated and engaged in learning, including in Clover, SC, where students using Courseware experienced 23% fewer absences. How does Roadtrip Nation support career readiness? Roadtrip Nation's story-driven interviews give students an honest look at the many ways careers can unfold, helping them understand different trajectories and explore options they may never have encountered otherwise. By hearing directly from professionals about the challenges, choices, and growth they've experienced, students become more confident and better prepared for post-secondary opportunities. The impact is clear: in a Stanford study, more than 60% of participating students discovered new potential career paths after engaging with Roadtrip Nation content. When will the integrated content be available? The integration will roll out in phases, beginning with high school core courses for the 2026-27 back-to-school season. Middle school courses will follow, expanding access to these real-world career stories across grade levels. Additionally, select videos will be incorporated into Edmentum's MajorClarity college and career planning platform, offering students even more opportunities to explore meaningful pathways for their future. Which students and educators will benefit? The integration is designed to support a wide range of learners and educators, whether students are using Edmentum Courseware in traditional classrooms or working with virtual instructors through EdOptions Academy. It also benefits teachers and counselors by providing curated, career-connected content that enhances instruction without adding to their workload, making it easier to bring real-world relevance into every learning environment.
