Renee's Schooling

Poor Renee.
We've been working on setting up her school schedule next year. Because I have learned from experience, I wanted to be 100% certain that there are no missed requirements; no need for her to take Introduction to Widget Making, or a missed Health class. There have been half a dozen emails back and forth to her student advisor, Cassidy Bentendorf. Because, as you all know, school boards set their own requirements for graduation and they vary between districts.

I got an email today from Cassidy. He (yeah, poor guy) said that according the Grantsburg School District, ALL graduates MUST take Algebra I and English 9. Well, Renee finished Algebra I in 4th grade, and she finished English 9 in 6th grade. Therefore, she doesn't not have the requirements for graduation from Grantsburg.

She might end up taking ALGEBRA next year!

--ok, so the chance of that is a billion to one. Cassidy is going to go to the school board next week and formally apply for a written variance to the policy. Josh Watt is on the school board and there's no way that he would ever agree to letting Renee take Algebra I. But.... it's still really funny to think about. She could take Algebra from a teacher who has less math training than she. :-)
