NVUSD to discuss possible curriculum changes

Napa Valley Unified School District will host a public hearing Thursday to discuss the possibility of ramping up high school graduation requirements.

Called the College and Career Readiness Initiative, the measure could begin being phased in as soon as fall of 2009 and would require that students take more math and foreign language credits while also mandating lab hours to accompany science coursework.

Thursday’s meeting will begin at 7 p.m. but the public is asked to arrive after 7:45 p.m. because of limited seating, according to the NVUSD Web site.

Meetings are held in the district office’s board room at 2524 Jefferson St.
