North Judson-San Pierre Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin informed the school board that there will be a new class offered next semester when members met Tuesday night.
She explained, “The High School is offering a dual-credit business law course next semester and it’s new, it’s through Ivy Tech.”
The reason this matter was brought up to the school board is because members were required to approve a textbook for the course. Dr. Zupin mentioned that the book for the class had to be selected from a list of approved textbooks provided by college officials.
She noted, There are certain books that Ivy Tech needs the schools to use, we can choose from only a certain number.”
Members were provided with a textbook recommendation in their board packet.
Dr. Zupin noted that the selected text book was chosen after deliberating with Business teacher Jeremy Somerville and High School Principal Jim Polite. She added that it will be incorporated into text book rental fees next year.
The school board voted unanimously to approve the textbook recommendation.
