Board adopts K–6 reading materials in four‑year contract totaling $491,651.25
Summary
The Danville board voted 7‑0 to adopt a K–6 reading curriculum and materials for a four‑year period at a cost of $491,651.25, paid from district funds. The adoption covers consumable student materials, online access, and professional development.
The Danville CCSD 118 Board of Education approved a four‑year adoption of new K–6 reading materials, including consumable student materials, online access and professional development, at a total cost of $491,651.25 to be paid from district funds.
A district presenter described the selection process: the materials were piloted during the current school year and staff recommended adoption based on pilot results. The presenter said consumable student materials make per‑grade ordering necessary and estimated roughly 450 student materials per grade to provide a cushion for new students or lost materials. The district said a one‑time payment is preferred and often yields a discount, though payments can be split across two fiscal years if needed.
Board members asked about staff training; the district said initial professional development is included and additional follow‑up PD will be scheduled. The motion to adopt the materials passed 7‑0.
