The philosophy of the scheduling committee is to organize instructional time in a way that will be conducive to the initiatives of the district’s five-year strategic plan.

encyclopedia whose portion was written by Robert Wooster says, “The Plains Wars were neither solely the product of U.S. encroachment on native lands nor the result of Native American aggression; rather, they were fueled in large measure by both sides’ understanding of military action as a legitimate means of securing policy goals.
