![Sophomore Aleksey Valouev speaks during the open forum section of an April 18 school board meeting regarding the Palo Alto Unified School District’s removal of Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra as dual-enrollment classes. Valouev was one of over 50 students involved with the writing of an open letter to the district commenting on their perceived unfairness of the change and advocating for its appeal. In the meeting, Valouev said Multivariable and Linear Algebra are an integral part of the math pathway for students pursuing advanced math courses past high school. “This decision has affected each and every single one of us on an individual level,” Valouev said. “[It’s] severely limiting our options for continued math learning during our junior and senior years.” (Photo: Screenshot of PAUSD School Board Meeting Youtube Video)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/mvc-900x486.jpeg)
