Naperville School District 203’s board of education on Monday approved the addition of six new course proposals that will be rolled out over the next two school years on a 5-1 vote. The board’s vote came on the heels of a preliminary discussion early this month.
A number of the courses are within the career and technical education department, focusing on such concepts as AI, computer science, and culinary arts. Also in the mix is the introduction of French 5 to the world languages program and advanced acting in the fine arts department.
Board member Holly Blastic cast the dissenting vote, citing concerns with the Exploring AI course and broader ethical and environmental concerns about the still-emerging technology. Board member Melissa Kelley Black was not present at the meeting.
