Public commenter promotes classical‑education resources and Singapore Math to supplement district instruction
Summary
A community member, Monica Brown, used the public-comment period to recommend classical-education curricula (My Father’s World) and Singapore Math as resources parents can use to bolster reading and math at home
During public comment Monica Brown urged parents and the district to examine classical-education resources and Singapore Math as supplemental tools for struggling readers and math learners.
Brown said the materials she described are available commercially and that they include reading lists (“living books”) and Singapore-style math approaches she believes produce high student achievement. She offered printed catalogs and said parents can test and purchase materials for home use if they choose; she suggested libraries might carry titles from the reading lists she recommended.
Why it matters: Public-comment speakers can supplement district conversation by offering resources parents can use at home. Brown’s remarks were a personal recommendation of curricula and not a district proposal or endorsement.
The board allowed the three-minute comment and the superintendent thanked Brown and noted district staff already use multiple resources to support student learning.
