Summary: The District's Educational Services Department periodically makes recommendations for updates in our Districtwide course catalog. In this case, the course was previously not meeting the standards for the UC System. At this time we are submitting the revised course: Advanced Floral Design.

Charlynn McNaul, Perris High School agriculture teacher, has submitted a revision to the Advanced Floral Design course to meet the UC/CSU requirements. The course was currently only offered to District students as an Agricultural electives course. With the latest updates, the course will now fulfill the requirements to be a UC - G elective course.

The Advanced Floral Design course is designed to give floral students the advanced techniques they need to perform in the floral industry. Students will explore the floriculture industry on a more technical and advanced level including the proper care and handling of flowers, plants, and foliage; construct arrangements for all occasions; display, price, and market floral designs; and preserve floral materials all while students run their own real world floral shop. Upon completion of this class, students will be prepared to obtain a job in the floral industry. Students will automatically become members of the Future Farmers Association (FFA) and participation in FFA activities and supervised agricultural experience programs will be graded in this course.

The revised course, Advanced Floral Design, has been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
