Moses Lake — The Moses Lake School District Board of Directors discussed proposed revisions to Policy 2020 on Aug. 7 and received a staff briefing on plans to make core instructional materials available for public review.
Staff introduced Katie Phipps and said she has been reviewing Policy 2020 to align course design language and update the adoption process for instructional materials. Phipps described the proposed wording changes as largely editorial and alignment-focused.
Board members pressed for details about public access to materials. Phipps and other staff said the district is compiling a list of current curriculum by grade and subject and intends to make that list available both in person and online. "We need you to send us a list of all the curriculum that you're currently doing by grade level, by subject level," a staff member said, describing principal-level data collection. "The idea is that somebody would be able to come in ... and we'd be able to, on the spot, either offer that to them in person or be able to point them, on the website."
Staff acknowledged the work is not complete and described it as "close" but not finished. Board members sought clarification on where physical materials would be available; staff said some items may be held at individual schools and some at the district office, but the list will note availability and the district will make materials available to anyone who requests to review them.
Board members did not object to the proposed Policy 2020 language at this first review. Staff indicated the district will continue the work of compiling the materials list and returning with updates as needed.
