Policy 2427 INFORMATION PROCESSING SKILLS

The Board of Education believes that education must acquaint pupils with an accumulated store of knowledge and information beyond that contained in the curriculum.  The instructional program shall include training in the skills that will give each pupil access to that knowledge and information.  This training shall be planned to encourage the pupil toward independent research appropriate to the grade level.  

The Superintendent shall develop, in consultation with appropriate teaching staff members, an information processing program.  The program shall be of sufficient scope to apply to pupils at all grade levels and shall be sequentially developed.  Where information processing is infused into a curricular area, a written description of the infusion shall be included in the course guide for that curriculum.
