WG District 'Pathways' Plan Shows Contradictions, Missing Details | The Locally Times
An April 30 district record lists seven 'WG Pathways'—not six—and provides course details for only the Business Path.
This follows a report by The Locally Times which found that district documents outlining the new curriculum contained URLs that pointed to unrelated meeting minutes from 2017 and 2019, creating confusion about the origin and approval of the initiative. ## A Discrepancy in Numbers While the initiative is named as if it has six pathways, the district’s April 30, 2026, document explicitly lists seven. The pathways identified in the record are: Artistic Path, Health Path, Building & Fixing Path, Foundation Knowledge & Skills, Business Path, Nature Path, and Helping Path. The document does not explain this discrepancy or clarify which track is excluded from the official count of six. ## A Disparity in Detail Of the seven pathways listed in the April 30 record, only the “Business Path” includes a course list. The document offers no curriculum details for the other six. The Business Path curriculum includes courses in finance and management, such as Accounting w/ Personal Finance and Entrepreneurship, alongside technology-focused classes like Computer Programming with Java and Web Design. The record does not provide a rationale for categorizing these technology courses under business. For the Artistic, Health, Building & Fixing, Nature, Helping, and Foundation Knowledge & Skills pathways, the district record lists no associated courses, curriculum outlines, or learning objectives. ## Missing Details on Implementation and Oversight Public records on the WG Pathways program do not specify its budget, potential impacts on staffing, or the resources allocated to each track.
