Board conditionally approves weekly off-campus LifeWise program for fifth graders

Day-to-day

What happened

The district conditionally approved a plan for interested fifth graders to attend optional off-campus moral instruction during one Explore period each week in 2026-27.

Why it matters to families

Fifth-grade families may need to decide whether to give written consent; students who do not participate would remain on campus for regular Explore activities.

The evidence

The May minutes say the conditional agreement lets LifeWise develop the release-time program, with written parent consent and district-approved, background-checked volunteers.
