Personal Curriculum (PC)
Background An informational meeting was held in
November to present the first copy of the
Personal Curriculum Guidelines and Supporting
Materials. During this meeting, it was suggested
that a committee be formed to continue to get
updated information and discuss how to best
support the local schools with these new
requirements. The committee currently consists
of volunteers from three local school districts
and Char-Em staff. This group met in December
and January and will be meeting monthly, as
needed.
