Hall schools are celebrating the 227th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution with patriotic contests and displays. This comes after a committee appointed in 2013 found social studies curriculum in the district has gaps in several areas, with U.S. civics at the top of the list. The committee, which was requested by the district’s Board of Education, found existing curriculum has “little or no focus on a K-12 mastery of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights,” according to Superintendent Will Schofield.
