Board told to renew 6–8 McGraw Hill INSPIRE Science curriculum for five years
Summary
Staff proposed a five‑year renewal of McGraw Hill INSPIRE Science (Earth & Space, Life & Structure, Physical) for grades 6–8, including online platforms and student workbooks, with an estimated contract total for five years cited by staff.
The district proposed renewing its grades 6–8 science curriculum with McGraw Hill INSPIRE Science for a five‑year period.
Director Miss Rivera told the board the renewal covers three curriculum components (Earth and Space; Life Structure and Function; Physical) and includes online platform access plus student and teacher materials. She said the total renewal cost presented was $107,652 for the five‑year license and materials package. Rivera said McGraw Hill maintains the online platform and will provide updates to align with standards during the contract period.
Board members asked about update processes and replenishment of consumable student workbooks; Rivera said online updates are included in the platform and consumable materials are shipped/replenished during the contract term. The board did not take action that night; staff will include the renewal for approval on the upcoming consent agenda.
