Jefferson Union board adopts 2025–26 instructional materials list and affirms students will have required textbooks
Summary
District staff presented and the board approved the annual adoption of textbooks and instructional materials for the 2025–26 school year and a resolution affirming compliance with state law that students will have sufficient materials.
The Jefferson Union High School District board on Tuesday approved a list of textbooks and instructional materials for the 2025–26 school year and adopted a resolution affirming that students will have sufficient materials as required by state law. Staff recommended the list and asked the board to conduct a public hearing before adoption; no members of the public spoke.
Corinne Baca, a district staff member, told the board, "Each year, school districts are required to formally adopt textbooks and instructional materials that align with content state standards," and recommended the board approve the attached list for use during the 2025–26 school year. She also recommended the board conduct a public hearing and approve a resolution affirming that requirement.
Nut graf: The annual adoption is the district’s formal compliance step that signals the materials teachers will use and serves as the basis for the district’s claim that students will have sufficient textbooks and instructional materials under state law.
Board procedure followed standard practice: staff presented the list, the board opened a public hearing, noted there were no public speakers, and a trustee moved to adopt the resolution titled in the transcript as "resolution number 25 20 25-20 26/1, Pupil Textbook and Instructional Materials Incentive Act." The motion was seconded and the roll call in the recorded excerpt indicated approval.
Supporting details from the meeting: staff explained the list includes materials commonly used across the district’s core academic subject areas and that approval is required before the coming school year. No public comments were received during the hearing segment captured in the transcript.
Ending: The board approved the instructional materials list and adopted the resolution as recorded in the meeting transcript; the district will implement the adopted materials in classrooms in the 2025–26 school year.
