Board approves amendment to I‑Ready contract for curriculum services
Summary
The board unanimously approved an amendment to the existing contract for the I‑Ready program (Curriculum Associates, LLC), with trustees and staff describing the program as a valuable tool to help identify learning gaps and support differentiated instruction.
District staff requested approval of an amendment to the original contract with Curriculum Associates, LLC for the I‑Ready program. Miss Johnson presented the item and described the program as a tool to assess, monitor and support instruction; she said “80% of I Ready is direct instruction from the teacher based upon the toolkit.”
A board member described the program’s classroom acceptance: “I know the return on the investment of this program because kids talk about it constantly when I worked in the schools, and they wanted to get to their I Ready,” and another board member emphasized the program is a supplement, not a replacement, for one‑on‑one instruction.
The motion to approve the terms of the agreement amendment passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
