What this document actually says
Policy 6143: Courses of Study (Last revised April 14, 2026)
This policy establishes what courses Reed Union School District must offer students. The district must provide a well-aligned sequence of courses that prepare students academically, professionally, and personally. For elementary grades (K-6), the district must adopt coursework that prepares students for secondary education. For secondary grades (7-12), the district must offer courses that meet California public college/university admission requirements (A-G requirements) and provide career skills. The Superintendent ensures courses are properly sequenced across grade levels and certified by UC for college admission. Key rule: The district cannot segregate courses or require/refuse student participation based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, immigration status, or other protected characteristics. Parents must receive annual notification of UC-certified courses and may opt students out of certain instruction when allowed by law.
What this means for your family
What this means for families: Your child will have access to courses that prepare them for college and careers, regardless of their background or identity. The district must offer courses meeting UC/CSU admission requirements (A-G courses) and provide you an annual list of these certified courses. You have the right to opt your child out of certain instruction when legally permitted, and the district must offer alternative activities of similar educational value.
