Articulation

It is the goal of the curriculum department to sponsor and support activities which facilitate linkages between districts and schools within the county, between districts and the state department, and between regional projects and schools/districts. It is also the goal of the department to keep districts apprised of pending legislation affecting curriculum as well as to interpret current legislation.
