At its April 15, 2024, meeting, the Caledonia Board of Education will be considering changes to the 5th grade Willing to Wait curriculum for reproductive health. At this time, the district utilizes Willing to Wait at the intermediate and middle school levels. Willing to Wait has adopted several changes to the 5th grade curriculum starting with the 2024-2025 school year. At its May 20, 2024 meeting, the Caledonia Board of Education will be making a decision to accept or reject changes to the 5th grade Willing to Wait curriculum. From April 15 - May 20, 2024, the recommended curriculum will be available for review by our community.  Interested individuals may view the text by coming to the CCS Administration Building during business hours (8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.) Monday through Friday or at other times by appointment. For requests outside of business hours or if you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Christie Russell at (616) 891-8185.
