Questions for a district curriculum meeting

Which students receive instruction, in which grades and subjects, and for how much time?
What sequence connects computing concepts, data, AI understanding and digital judgment?
Who teaches it, and what training, preparation time and accessible materials do they receive?
Which documented funding or services can support delivery, and what remains a local budget decision?
What student work demonstrates understanding? Check who participates and who is missing.
