The MISD Board of Trustees designates the Superintendent as the curriculum leader in charge of establishing procedures for the design and delivery of the curriculum consistent with the Board’s adopted mission and applicable goals, State laws, and State Board of Education (SBOE) rules. The Board deems it essential for the school system to continually develop and modify its curriculum to provide a common direction of action for all instructional and programmatic efforts to meet changing needs. This curriculum component shall be an integral part of the District’s long-range planning process. An environment to support curriculum delivery must be created and maintained by all functions of the organization.
