Upper Adams Board Divided Over Reading Plan Change
A Monday Upper Adams School District board meeting revealed a dispute over a state mandated reading program. Board member Eugene Haas argued the new curriculum requires a planned reading program for all students, opposing the current remedial program. The motion to cease the current program and adopt the mandated plan passed 5-3, with superintendent Schoch noting the approval was verbal and unconfirmed in writing. No official notification of the mandated program exists, and the district has lacked a reading specialist since 1975.
