Each subject area undergoes a comprehensive five-year review process. During the 2026–2027 school year, Human Growth and Development will be reviewed for programming serving students in upper elementary, middle school, and high school. Committee members should be willing to share perspectives, ask questions, consider diverse viewpoints, and help develop appropriate student programming. The committee will work under the direction of the Kettle Moraine School Board and Dr. Steve Plum, Superintendent. The committee of 15-20 randomly selected with representation from each category, will be led by Brian Adamczyk, Curriculum Leader for Health & Physical Education and Chris Otto, Chief Academic Officer.
