Changes Proposed At BOE Peach County Board of Education members discussed making changes to the cur riculum and increasing class size if necessary at their work session last week PCHS has six Advanced Placement courses already and board members heard proposals to add AP courses. The AP courses will increase to eight next year and to 13 the following year. For 2013-14 students will have the option of taking AP clsses in world history, biology, chemistry, calculus, statistics, Englis literature and compo sition and microeconomics. American government and politics will be offered for the first time to freshmen. Thanks to grant money, five additional teachers will undergo training to teach the AP classes. So schools would have more leeway when new stu dents move into the district, board members were asked to consider adding one student to the maximum class size in regular and remedial classes and two extra students to spe cial education classes. Board members will vote on a reso lution for a class size waiver at their regular meeting next week (April 9). Though the Georgia Dept, of Education specifies how many students can be in each class depend ing on grade level, boards can request additions to those limits. In the next few months, board members will be decid ing whether to move forward with projects slated for 2014 in the system’s five-year plan, and if so, which projets. Applications for state fund ing must be submitted by the end of August. Those projects include new gym floors and roofs for some schools, up grades and renovation of the high school kitchen.
