**IGD - CURRICULUM ADOPTION** **Last Updated Date:** 04/29/2014 **Adoption Date:** 01/10/2006 The School Committee will rely on its professional staff to design and implement instructional programs and courses of study that will forward the educational goals of the school system. The superintendent will have authority to approve new programs and courses of study after they have been thoroughly studied and found to support educational goals.  The Committee wishes to be kept informed of major revisions to the curriculum.  It will receive reports or such from the superintendent as warranted.  Its acceptance of these reports, to include school program of studies, will constitute its adoption of the curriculum for official purposes. **Policy References:** LEGAL REF.: M.G.L. 71:1; 69:1E
