On April 23, the Sequoia Union High School District board will address two significant issues: the future of a mandated ethnic studies class and the streamlining of courses to include varying student abilities. The community group SUHSD Students First is advocating for the reinstatement of advanced standing/honors classes that were removed, arguing that such offerings are crucial for students not ready to transition directly from grade-level classes to AP courses. Merging classes has been suggested to foster inclusivity but faces concerns about teachers' capacity to support diverse learners effectively.
Without AS/Honors as a bridge, students are expected to leap from grade-level work to college-level rigor - a jump many cannot make without support.
Merging classes improves the learning experience by setting high expectations and creates a greater sense of belonging in the school culture.
