What happened

The Board approved a new year-long IB Economics course at Sequoia High and adopted the Galería A, B, and C sequence for students who already speak Spanish at home.

Why it matters to families

One decision expands Sequoia High's advanced course options; the other replaces second-language textbooks with materials designed specifically around heritage speakers' existing language and culture.

The evidence

Both curriculum items were part of a consent agenda that the approved minutes say passed in full by a 5-0 vote.
