This month, the Kansas State Board of Education approved nine schools in seven districts to be a part of the “Kansas can redesign project plan” for the current school year. One of those schools approved–was Columbus high school. “The approval from the state board, we’re very appreciative because it’s validation that we’re doing things the correct way,” said Columbus High School Principal, Dan Grundy. The program, which invites schools from all over the state to apply, has the goal to find ways to best meet the needs, of all students. “We looked at our master schedule that’s been completely redesigned to where teachers can choose whether or not they have 90 or 45-minute classes, the same amount of time on the week, but it’s just structured differently to meet students needs and whatever is best for that type of instruction,” said Columbus High School counselor, Nicki Strickland.
