(KMZA)--There will be some changes in the Nemaha Central High School credits for students beginning next year following action by the school board at last week’s meeting.
High School teacher Cathy Enneking presented information at last week’s USD 115 Board of Education meeting about adding a required class for seniors basically to assist students with their senior project.
Enneking said the class to be called " Senior Workshop" would provide extra support for their senior project as well as teach technical writing, composing resumes, career preparation and increasing the quality of senior projects.
The Board voted to add the required class beginning next school year.
With the addition of FFA-related classes this year, plant and animal science classes were added to the class selections for students. Following board approval, those classes may now be counted as a science credit.
Fifth grade teachers, Heather Sullivan and Lisa Holthaus, met with the Board to request that students be allowed to take their school provided iPads home to help them do science and math homework.
Currently, only middle and high school students may bring their iPads homes.
The Board approved allowing 5th graders to take their devices homes, beginning next school year.
They will be expected to follow the same protocol and requirements as the 6th through 8th grade students currently.
