High school students were offered the broadest arrays of credit courses in
the following disciplines during the 2008-09 school year: mathematics (9.5
credits); science (7.5); English (7.5); and family and consumer science
(7.0). The narrowest arrays of high school credit courses were made
available to grade 9-12 students in the following subject-matter disciplines
during the 2008-09 school year: world languages (3.0 credits); art (3.0);
physical education and health (3.5); and technology education (4.0).
High school students in Weyerhaeuser Area School District were provided
with opportunities to access telecommunication offerings through WIN ITV
and acquire credits (high school or dual) provided through the University of
Wisconsin and Wisconsin Technical College systems.
The breadth and scope of grade 9-12 course offerings made available to
Weyerhaeuser Area School District students during the 2008-09 school
year would be somewhat larger than offerings found in high schools with a
comparable critical student mass.
4.4 Course Preparations
The Project Consultants reviewed the master schedules of the School
District of Bruce, Ladysmith-Hawkins School District, and Weyerhaeuser
Area School District for the 2008-09 school year to ascertain the number of
course preparations assigned to full-time and part-time teaching staff
members in grades 9-12. Secondary school teacher course assignments
in a school district illustrate to the Project Consultants the teaching load of
full-time and part-time staff members and assist in assessing the
cost/ineffectiveness of a school district’s current staffing.
