Agenda Item Summary: February 1, 2022, marks the start of the enrollment process for secondary students for the 2022–23 school year. Students and their families are provided with a Program of Studies, including information on graduation and school practices that support student learning. The Program of Studies also includes a comprehensive list of courses available to meet graduation requirements, provides opportunities to explore a wide range of disciplines, and meets diverse student needs and interests.
Background: Every year a committee of administrators and guidance staff from each secondary school; the Office of Teaching, Learning, and Leadership; and the Communications staff work to design and develop the proposed Program of Studies for the 2022–23 school year. The committee members worked with various school departments to solicit recommendations for course revisions, additions, and deletions that incorporated student interest and demand trends.

Once the Program of Studies is approved, it will be published on the ACPS website for distribution to students, parents/guardians, and school staff at the end of January 2022.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board approve the proposed 2022–2023 Program of Studies.
