§18-5A-6. Establishment of school curriculum teams.
There shall be established at each school in the state a school curriculum team composed of the school principal, the counselor designated to serve that school and no fewer than three teachers representative of the grades taught at the school and chosen by the faculty senate: Provided, That for a school curriculum team established at an elementary school or a combination elementary and middle school, when the counselor is not assigned to the school on at least a one-half time basis, the curriculum team may meet on days when the counselor is not at the school and the principal shall consult with the counselor on the issues relevant to the meeting agenda.

The school curriculum team shall establish the programs and methods for implementing a curriculum based on state-approved instructional goals and objectives based on the needs of the individual school with a focus on reading, composition, mathematics, science and technology. The curriculum thus established shall be submitted to the county board for approval or for return to the school for reconsideration.

The school curriculum team may apply through the school's local school improvement council for a waiver from the textbook adoption process established in article two-a of this chapter if, in the judgment of the team, materials necessary for the implementation of such curriculum are not available through the normal adoption process.

The school team may apply for a grant from the state board for the development or implementation, or both, of remedial and accelerated programs to meet the needs of the students at the individual school.
