Why it matters: Committee members said the choice of a Tier 1 curriculum affects consistency for students who move between buildings and shapes what supplemental and Tier 2/Tier 3 interventions teachers use.

O'Grady said Tier 1 is \"for all, for everyone,\" and described a suite of elementary diagnostics and screeners now in use, including i-Ready diagnostic tests and an oral reading fluency screener used three times per year. \"The purpose of the diagnostics...is to let us know where our students are,\" she said, adding that assessment results must \"inform planning.\" She also described classroom resources coming this year: handwriting curriculum \"Handwriting Without Tears,\" UFLI/UFLY for phonics and phonemic awareness, Hegarty (a primarily oral program), and decodable texts and other supplements.

Soto said the district will not remove ARC without a formal replacement and that a shared decision-making committee will begin formal work in October, with pilots likely to follow. \"We cannot simply replace tier 1 instruction without a replacement,\" she said.

Board member Mark Levinstein told the committee he favored keeping multiple options available as long as teachers control how to use them: \"as long as it is something that the teachers are able to control, I think it's good to have these different options available.\" Ms. Peterson, a district administrator, also emphasized cross-district pacing as a benefit of retaining ARC: \"For the most part, the pacing across the district was the same.\"

Committee members and staff repeatedly framed materials by tiers: Tier 1 (core resources for all students), Tier 2 (targeted small-group instruction), and Tier 3 (intensive individualized instruction). O'Grady explained that programs such as UFLI manuals and Wilson are available as supplemental resources for students who have not \"cracked the code\" by third grade and need focused phonics instruction in smaller groups.

Staff described a phased rollout for new materials and professional development: many elementary professional learning sessions were delivered virtually at the start of the year so teachers could unbox and organize materials while receiving training; some two-year programs will be introduced later.

Discussion vs. decision: The committee took no formal vote on curriculum adoption. The record shows staff direction and planning: a shared-decision process will begin in October; pilots and further board-level presentations were proposed. O'Grady and Soto emphasized that teachers will retain professional autonomy and that district leaders will support alignment across buildings.

What was not specified: The committee did not adopt or replace ARC at this meeting, and no timeline for a final selection beyond starting shared decision-making in October was provided. Specific pilot schools, vendor contract terms, and budgetary amounts for new materials were not specified.

Next steps: Staff indicated shared-decision meetings and pilot protocols will follow; the district plans to present curriculum planning materials to the board on Sept. 30 and to continue monthly professional development for teachers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOE Curriculum Committee Meeting - September 10, 2025 - 4:30PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Newberg and Large City School District will keep the American Reading Company (ARC) as its Tier 1 English language arts resource for now while launching a formal shared-decision process to explore alternatives and pilots, Assistant Superintendent Shannon O'Grady and Assistant Superintendent Alicia Soto told the curriculum committee on Sept. 10.","taxTitle","Newburgh City School District, School Districts, New York","taxId",14388,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5988338,"District to integrate math into CTE courses, hold first CTE advisory meeting Sept. 25 and solicit building name suggestions",231,2395000,2626000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766420-52f1ec660ed788bd9a2c0a05fa56b946&start=2395&end=2626","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766420-52f1ec660ed788bd9a2c0a05fa56b946/thumbnail_2395000.jpg","/articles/5988338/New-York/District-to-integrate-math-into-CTE-courses-hold-first-CTE-advisory-meeting-Sept-25-and-solicit-building-name-suggestions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5988338-88afbe28212018d0b6199b09c95f5ff4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770527463&Signature=RqJW64gwITxRIScdkb9p7bNF73kCndg6pqsGxVR0lzS9IAs5twkm~AS6~WWKGQQ8N3bh6iY39cCq15ivx3DwEdVryqeFVfp1vCy3~hjNHJof2QOlqM90kMKEUD~-g9s96f868LJArX1ZBYi2eUGh1fANWDnyefgH9ZGHWZD3S9NOXZH8mZxRosFQFtyTno35nCamtuxkKI9i9KoM07clDqO43pYaihnkAsFrDo3mTDmmT~j0af7UDF0rWqNCzcwI3xSaTyM3k4O6Ltboxuacycgo5bCjpnHEeTYYT~IXvx~5SG-8N1LH1~iRLvEzRnzbLQ~lR59rRD5b3YhozQhEPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Newberg and Large City School District officials told the curriculum committee on Sept. 10 that they will expand career and technical education (CTE) offerings that integrate mathematics for third-year math credit, will hold the first CTE advisory meeting on Sept. 25, and will open a public naming survey for a new building.

Why it matters: Integrating math into CTE lets students earn required math credits through applications tied to career pathways and can increase relevance for students not pursuing traditional math sequences.

Assistant Superintendent Alicia Soto described the approach: the district is working to allow students to use applied math courses in CTE fields (for example, welding or auto body) to satisfy third-year math requirements. \"We are integrating math in, let's just say, welding or auto body...that third year math...is useful in their world,\" she said.

Staff reported operational work under way for CTE programs: supply orders and furniture are being processed for campus programs, and a first advisory meeting is scheduled for Sept. 25. Staff said they had already sent a Canvas letter to teachers and will invite parents and community members to participate in advisory planning.

On building naming, Dr. Manning Campbell said a district survey will be circulated to solicit names from inside and outside the community and that a name is needed to apply for the building's BEDS code. \"We are naming the building, and so we're hoping that we get that name from outside of our inside of our community,\" she said; the survey was described as being open about one week.

Discussion vs. decision: No formal policy or program approval occurred at the meeting. Staff reported planning and procurement actions (orders placed for supplies and equipment) and scheduled outreach (advisory meeting and naming survey).

Unspecified details: No dollar amounts, contract awards, or specific pilot campuses were identified during the meeting. Supply and furniture timelines were described as \"ordered and coming in\" but without delivery dates.

Next steps: CTE advisory meeting Sept. 25; invitations to parents and community members; naming survey to be released and open roughly one week.","Curriculum leaders said graduates can earn third-year math credit through CTE-integrated courses (welding, auto body, etc.), announced a Sept. 25 advisory meeting for CTE, and said a naming survey for a new building will be released soon.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5988343,"District expands use of Panorama data platform and adds Solara AI tool to support individualized instruction",328,1796000,2124000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766420-52f1ec660ed788bd9a2c0a05fa56b946&start=1796&end=2124","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766420-52f1ec660ed788bd9a2c0a05fa56b946/thumbnail_1796000.jpg","/articles/5988343/New-York/District-expands-use-of-Panorama-data-platform-and-adds-Solara-AI-tool-to-support-individualized-instruction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5988343-29ed009317f6bd0c6006146cdcb74d5c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770527463&Signature=oLv09EOsT1kWEaphS2VI7xFeIoOBOAyN1-1f8NIf59-nYJoluje62KymP6GuqHpNMDTsJSTsTXQX-7RBGaY0F9Cyxbxa4bywc65pNvSTw~U-QVPNoct2GaS~mNZ7mG1oxCMQOnRPBE58M4dsxa76y3yaTisLF44lmau6MxDdpR4n7M2klq1vD6vofwUf~zIGXZL4jEjfshVYP4Huxa07Z3Enna7NTpDfJmQOwv2rxlsV0~SSKRchtlToyPK7RYdZnTcG6MoChXZRen3OUuGzyzoh-61g1ph6ueEvfkzH9GputlMJcKprFtgG58bPJ4rkPT5MoBqlHo8CoXEgue0A1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Newberg and Large City School District curriculum leaders told the committee on Sept. 10 that they are expanding use of the Panorama student-data platform across grades and piloting an AI attachment called Solara to help teachers plan differentiated lessons.

Why it matters: Staff said Panorama aggregates academic and socioemotional indicators in one place, enabling personalized learning and clearer supports for students who are behind or need more challenge.

Assistant Superintendent Alicia Soto said the district \"reintroduced Panorama\" for English teachers and added Solara, which she described as \"an AI attachment...that helps teachers create lesson plans\" and generate individualized guidance for students. She explained Solara can level texts and scaffold materials so students with lower readability rates can participate meaningfully in grade-level discussions while still preparing for state exams.

Directors and staff praised the platform's integration work. Director Michael Jernigan was called the district'wide \"go to guru\" on Panorama, and committee members credited technology lead Joe McGrath for difficult system integrations. \"Panorama has done that\" (consolidating data in one place), a director said, and staff described plans to present the platform to the full board and develop a web library of presentations and materials for families.

Discussion vs. decision: The committee discussed training, administrative rollout, and parent-facing materials but did not take formal action. Staff said they will prepare a short board presentation (possible October meeting) and create an online library so families can view videos and presentations about Panorama and its use.

Unspecified details: The transcript did not include procurement or contract details for Solara, data-privacy specifics, or timelines for full districtwide deployment. The committee also did not quantify costs or vendor contract terms at this meeting.

Next steps: Staff will prepare a board overview presentation and continue administrator and teacher training; additional administrative meetings and parent-facing resources were proposed.","Curriculum staff described deeper Panorama integration for multi-tiered supports, use of Solara AI to generate lesson scaffolds, and plans to brief the full board and provide materials to families and staff.","actionData","errors"]
